Explanation

Asexual reproduction in penicillium takes place by conidia or conidiospores which are developed on conidiospores. When food is plentiful, hydra reproduce asexually by producing buds in the body wall, which grow to be miniature adults and simply break away when they are mature. Gemmules are internal buds found in sponges that are the result of asexual reproduction in response to a hostile environment. In chlamydomonas, asexual reproduction goes through zoospores, palmella stage, alpanospores and hypnospores.
