Asexual reproduction
Sea stars are capable of both types of reproduction.
All asexually reproducing organisms are potentially capable of reproducing, and they don't waste any energy in trying to attract a mate
Starfish can live to be up to 20 years old. Some species are capable of sexual reproduction, and others can reproduce asexually.
TRUE :)
single celled organisms. horse Horse is not right for this answer
The bacterias that causes pink eye are all asexual: staphylococci pneumococci and streptococci. staphylococci is asexual (Regeneration is a specialized form of asexual reproduction; by regeneration some organisms (e.g., the starfish and the salamander) can replace an injured or lost part, and many plants are capable of total regeneration) pneumococci reproduce by asexual division. streptococci - reproduces by asexual reproduction along a central axis creating either pairs of bacterium or long chains depending on culture media. How did I come to this conclusion - I searched the internet to find out what bacteria causes pink eye - the three examples above - then I searched each bacteria individually to find out if they were sexual or asexual.
Interestingly, the Starfish is capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction. Which is to say they can have babies both with a partner and without one. Starfish often reproduce by what's called "free-spawning" in which they release their gametes into the water where they hopefully are fertilized by gametes from the opposite sex. Starfish most probably gather in groups when ready to spawn, releasing chemical indicators to let other starfish know of their readiness. Starfish spawn are like insects, going through multiple stages of development and larval stages. Unlike adults, larval forms of starfish have distinct left and right sides.
I believe you are thinking of sexual reproduction. The opposite of sexual reproduction is asexual reproduction which occurs when offspring are produced without a male. Asexual reproduction is common among certain plants and single-celled organisms like bacteria and protists. Some species of animal can switch back and forth between sexual and asexual reproduction. Turkeys are a good example of this. Female turkeys can produce fertilized eggs in the absence of a male. Aphids are also capable of producing young in the absence of a male.
They reproduce sexually and asexually. Some reproduce by binary fission (asexual) and others use gametes (sexual reproduction).
