Document Summary

Diverse mechanisms of asexual reproduction enable animals to produce identical offspring rapidly: many invertebrates can reproduce asexually by fission, in which a parent separates into two or more approximately equal-sized individuals, budding is also common among invertebrates. This is a form of asexual reproduction in which new individuals split off from existing ones. It allows isolated animals to reproduce without needing to find a mate. It can create numerous offspring in a short period of time. In stable environments, it allows for the perpetuation of successful genotypes. In such matings, each individual receives and donates sperm: this results in twice as many offspring as would be produced if only one set of eggs were fertilized. In sequential hermaphroditism, an individual reverses its sex during its lifetime. In some species, the sequential hermaphrodite is female first. In other species, the sequential hermaphrodite is male first.
