Which type of reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes?

In which type of asexual reproduction does the parent organism divide in two to produce two genetically identical daughter organisms?

What is the primary form of reproduction for single-celled organisms such as archaea and bacteria?

Which type of organisms can reproduce asexually, including plants, animals, and fungi?

What is a common form of asexual reproduction used by vertebrates when reproductive opportunities are limited?

Which mechanism for lateral gene transfer can be likened to sexual reproduction in the sense of genetic recombination in meiosis?

Which process involves the formation of miniaturized plants called plantlets on specialized leaves?

In which process does the nucleus of the parent cell divide several times by mitosis, producing several nuclei?
