Any four of the following: 1. Fission — a single cell divides into two (binary fission, e.g. Amoeba) or many (multiple fission, e.g. Plasmodium). 2. Budding — a bud grows on the parent and detaches as a new individual, e.g. Hydra, yeast. 3. Fragmentation — the body breaks into pieces and each piece grows into a new individual, e.g. Spirogyra. 4. Spore formation — spores released from sporangia grow into new individuals, e.g. Rhizopus (bread mould). (Also accepted: vegetative propagation, e.g. Bryophyllum; regeneration, e.g. Planaria.)
