Asexual reproduction requires only one parent, resulting in offspring that are exact clones of the parent, with the same DNA and chromosomes. This method is common in one-celled organisms and involves processes like binary fission, plant cuttings, budding, fragmentation, and regeneration. Various or

Protozoa are unicellular heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrition by ingesting other organisms or dead organic material. They can be parasitic and are classified based on their modes of locomotion. Common groups include amoebas, flagellates, sporozoans, and ciliates. Protozoa are further catego
