The formation of spores derived from the products of mitosis. Examples of this process are found in Bacterial species. Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. The biological process by which new individuals are produced by either a single cell or a group of cells, in the absence of any sexual process. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the sorocarp over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The process begins with the aggregation of individual cells and ends with the mature sorocarp. The sorocarp is a structure containing a spore-bearing sorus that sits on top of a stalk. An example of this process is found in Dictyostelium discoideum. The formation of a spore-bearing structure by fungus where spores will arise from asexual reproduction. A form of asexual reproduction, occurring in certain bacteria and fungi (e.g. yeasts) and some primitive animals in which an individual arises from a daughter cell formed by pinching off a part of the parent cell. The budlike outgrowths so formed may sometimes remain attached to the parent cell. The process whereby a new plantlet develops from a meristem on the plant body. As part of this process, when the plantlet is large enough to live independently, the physical connection between the new plantlet and the main plant is severed. The production by an organism of new individuals that contain some portion of their genetic material inherited from that organism. A process in which two similarly sized and shaped cells are formed by the division of one cell, the process by which most bacteria reproduce.
