Fragmentation or clonal fragmentation in multi cellular or colonial organisms is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning in which an organism is split into fragments. Each of these fragments develop into mature, fully grown individuals that are clones of the original organism.
Multiple fission at the cellular level occurs in many protists, e.g. sporozoans and algae. The nucleus of the parent cell divides several times by mitosis, producing several nuclei. The cytoplasm then separates, creating multiple daughter cells.
A mode of reproduction resembling multiple fission, common among Protozoa, in which the organism breaks up into a number of pieces, or spores , each of which eventually develops into an organism like the parent form. The formation of reproductive cells or spores , as in the growth of bacilli.
Grafting and budding are horticultural techniques used to join parts from two or more plants so that they appear to grow as a single plant . In grafting, the upper part (scion) of one plant grows on the root system (rootstock) of another plant . In the budding process, a bud is taken from one plant and grown on another
