Yes. This is the process of asexual reproduction. Two examples are: when a starfish has one of it's points removed, cut off, or otherwise, un-attached, the dismembered point will then grow into a completely new starfish of the same species with the exact same D.N.A and genetic material as the parent starfish, because asexual reproduction passes the exact same genes off to the newborn. As opposed to sexual reproduction, like with humans. When we have a child, the genes are taken from half of one parent and half of the other to leave the actual genes up to chance, working from those that have come from the parent. My other example is that, once a bacterial organism has reached the stage at which to reproduce, the newborn will break off of the parent cell, in the famous process of multiplication among bacteria.

Yes, some organisms can grow from a single cell or part of the parent organism through asexual reproduction. This process allows for the growth of new individuals that are genetically identical to the parent. Examples include plants propagating through stem cuttings or some animals regenerating from a severed body part.

When an organism reproduces by budding how does the new organism start growing?

In budding, a new organism forms as an outgrowth on the parent organism. This outgrowth eventually develops into a complete organism through cell division and growth. The new organism may detach from the parent once it is fully formed.


A whole new organism can grow from just a piece of the parent in animals that have the ability to?

This process is called regeneration, where an entirely new organism can develop from a fragment of the parent organism. Some animals that have this ability include certain species of starfish, planarians, and some species of lizards. Regeneration involves the growth of new tissues and organs to replace those that have been lost or damaged.


How do buds of a organism such as hydra compare to the parent?

The hydra makes offspring by forming buds that break off and grow into new hydras like the parent.


When a new organism grows from the body of the parent organism is called what?

Regeneration.


What are 3 parts of asexual reproduction?

Binary fission: division of a single-celled organism into two identical daughter cells. Budding: new individuals developed as outgrowths from the parent organism. Spore formation: specialized reproductive cells that can grow into new organisms under favorable conditions.


What is process of budding is described by?

Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops as an outgrowth from the parent organism. The offspring produced through budding is genetically identical to the parent organism. The process involves the formation of a small bud on the parent organism, which eventually detaches and grows into a new independent organism.


What is the term to use for a new organism growing from just a part of the parent organism?

It is called budding. It is when a parent organism produces a bud like formation on it's body with it's genetic information. This happens in plants, sea sponges and some other organisms that reproduce asexually. Yes, this is a type of asexual reproduction. Meaning that a single parent organism is producing the offspring. There is no contribution from another organism, just one parent organism replicating it's traits so they can be passed on to their offspring.Another kind is called splicing. It is when you take a special kind of tape (the actual name of it slipped my mind) and you adhere the clipping of, say an orange plant to a lemon plant. It will grow off part of an organism, now made it's parent organism, but it will produce mixed fruits.There is also when a starfish loses it's body, and there is just an arm left. It can regenerate a new body, just like a lizard can regenerate it's tail!These are all types of asexual reproduction.
