Asexual reproduction (also known, in animals, as parthenogenesis).
Many simple organisms such as bacteria, protists and archaea reproduce by splitting.
Quite a lot of plants reproduce by budding or sending up suckers, young plants which are genetically identical to the parent. Several plants do this as well as reproducing sexually, so they employ two methods.
A lot of invertebrates, some fish and reptiles too, reproduce asexually, where the egg develops without sperm.
Some types of shark are known to have reproduced by parthenogenesis.

Some organisms are descended from only one parent. What is the name for this type of reproduction?
asexual reproduction.
What is a type of reproduction that has only one parent and the offspring is identical to the parent?
In asexual reproduction a single parent passes copies of all it's genes to each of it's offspring. In sexual reproduction two parents each form reproductive cells that have one half the chromosomes.
If a plant can be grown from a cutting of its parent what type of reproduction does this represent?
It is an example of asexual reproduction. A bit of one plant is taken and then grown. The new plant is genetically identical to the original
What type of reproduction results in uniform offspring?
hen an offspring is produced asexually and looks exactly like the parent.
The three types of asexual reproduction?
BuddingIn this form of asexual reproduction, an offspring grows out of the body of the parent.Hydras exhibit this type of reproduction.Gemmules (Internal Buds)In this form of asexual reproduction, a parent releases a specialized mass of cells that can develop into offspring.Sponges exhibit this type of reproduction.FragmentationIn this type of reproduction, the body of the parent breaks into distinct pieces, each of which can produce an offspring.Planarians exhibit this type of reproduction.RegenerationIn regeneration, if a piece of a parent is detached, it can grow and develop into a completely new individual.Echinoderms exhibit this type of reproduction.ParthenogenesisThis type of reproduction involves the development of an egg that has not been fertilized into an individual.Animals like most kinds of wasps, bees, and ants that have no sex chromosomes reproduce by this process. Some reptiles and fish are also capable of reproducing in this manner.
What is the type of reproduction where a new organism has a single parent?
Asexual reproduction requires only one parent.
What is the characteristic of reproduction?
One characteristic of asexual reproduction is that there is only one parent. This type of reproduction creates offspring that is completely identical to the one parent.
What is the definition fro asexual reproduction?
A type of reproduction that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
Some organisms are descended from only one parent. What is the name for this type of reproduction?
asexual reproduction.
What type of reproduction that only require one parent?
asexual. its what plants do
What is a type of reproduction that has only one parent and the offspring is identical to the parent?
In asexual reproduction a single parent passes copies of all it's genes to each of it's offspring. In sexual reproduction two parents each form reproductive cells that have one half the chromosomes.
Which type of reproduction produces fungi different from either parent?
asexual reproduction
What is a type of reproduction that that produces new organisms with identical chromosomes of those type of parent organism?
It is sexual reproduction
What type of asexual reproduction does the starfish go through?
there is only one type of asexual reproduction and its called binarry fission.This only happens in cells. This kind of reproduction is when 1 cell duplicates its genetic material inside itself and it seperates into two different cells. This proccess only takes one parent. The results is that there is now another cell that is identical to the parent.
What type of reproduction requires two organisms?
Sexual is two parents Asexual is one parent
What is the type of reproduction that produces a new organism with identical chromosomes of those of the parent organism?
It is sexual reproduction
If a plant can be grown from a cutting of its parent what type of reproduction does this represent?
It is an example of asexual reproduction. A bit of one plant is taken and then grown. The new plant is genetically identical to the original
