Fragmentation occurs in multi cellular organisms with simple body organization. eg.Spirogyra
Fission occurs in unicellular organism. eg.amoeba
Binary fission, or prokaryotic fission, is a form of asexual reproduction and cell division used by all prokaryotes, some protozoa, and some organelles within eukaryotic organisms. This process results in the reproduction of a living prokaryotic cell by division into two parts that each have the potential to grow to the size of the original cell.
Fragmentation or Clonal Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction or cloning where an organism is split into fragments. The splitting may or may not be intentional. Each of these fragments develop into mature, fully grown individuals that are a clone of the original organism. If the organism is split any further the process is repeated. Fragmentation is caused by mitosis. Meiosis is not involved in fragmentation.
Fragmentation is seen in many organisms such as molds, some annelid worms, and sea stars. Binary fission of single-celled organisms such bacteria, protozoa and many algae is a type of fragmentation.
Molds, yeast, and mushrooms, all of which are part of the Fungi kingdom, produce tiny filaments called hyphae. These hyphae obtain food and nutrients from the body of other organisms to grow and fertilize. Then a piece of hyphae breaks off and grows into a new individual and the cycle continues.
Fragmentation is observed in nonvascular plants as well, liverworts and mosses

EzraFragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction in which an organism splits into fragments, each of which can grow into a new organism. Budding is also a form of asexual reproduction, but in this process, a new organism grows as an outgrowth or bud on the parent organism before detaching to live independently.

Sponges can reproduce asexually by?
budding or fragmentation. Budding involves the growth of a new sponge from the parent sponge, while fragmentation occurs when a piece of the sponge breaks off and grows into a new sponge.
Can you describe three different types of asexual reproduction in plants?
Three types of asexual reproduction in plants are fragmentation, budding, and vegetative propagation. Fragmentation occurs when a part of the plant breaks off and grows into a new plant. Budding involves a new plant growing from a bud on the parent plant. Vegetative propagation involves the growth of new plants from specialized plant parts like roots, stems, or leaves.
Is archaebacteria asexual or sexual?
Archaebacteria reproduce asexually through binary fission or budding. They do not engage in sexual reproduction.
Two examples of asexual reproduction?
Budding in yeast is a form of asexual reproduction where a smaller cell grows off a parent cell. Another example is binary fission in bacteria, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
What are 3 types of asexual plant reproduction?
Although there are more than three types, the three common ones are Fission, Parthenogenesis, and Agamogenesis. Fission: When a parent organism is replaced with two daughter organisms, it literally divides in two. Parthenogenesis: Form of which an unfertilized egg develops into a new individual, naturally in plants. Agamogenesis: Any form of reproduction that doesn't involve a male gamete. Some examples are plants, and believe it or not, hammerhead sharks.
