| binary fission | involves an equal division of both the organism cytoplasm and nucleus to form two identical organisms |
| Asexual reproduction | a method of reproduction with all the genetic information coming from one parent |
| budding | involves one parent dividing its nucleus (genetic material) equally, but cytoplasm unequally |
| sporulation (spore formation) | reproduction involving specialized single cells coming from one parent |
| Cloning | the production of identical genetic copies |
| Mitosis | associated with asexual reproduction, as well as growth and repair in sexually reproducing organisms;the method used for cell division and reproduction in cells not involved in sexual reproduction |
| replication | copying of the chromosome material |
| 2 Key Results of Mitosis | 1. The same chromosome number is retained from generation to generation. |
