Asexual Reproduction is a method of producing new young plants or animals from a single plant or animal and without separate male and female cells joining together. This can happen through fragmentation, when each fragment develops into mature, fully grown individuals that are a clone of the original organism. A sea star detaches its arm that eventually develops into an independent individual sea star. A sea-star arm can only regenerate into a whole new organism if some of the central disk of the sea star is part of the chopped off arm.
