The process of asexual reproduction in organisms is known as asexual reproduction or binary fission, depending on the species. This reproductive strategy allows organisms to produce offspring without the need for fertilization. Examples include budding in hydra, vegetative propagation in plants, and binary fission in bacteria. Asexual reproduction results in genetically identical clones (offspring) to the parent organism, which can be advantageous in stable environments where rapid population growth is beneficial. However, it limits genetic diversity compared to sexual reproduction.
