Spore formation

The parent cell survives as a separate individual and continues to reproduce alongside its offspring.

The parent cell's entire body is divided and continues to exist as the bodies of the two daughter cells.

The parent cell enters a permanent state of dormancy and is replaced by a new cell from the environment.

The offspring are formed from specialized seeds that the parent cell releases shortly before it dies.

Cytoplasmic division -> Nuclear division -> Two daughter cells

Nuclear division -> Cytoplasmic division -> Two daughter cells

Budding -> Fragmentation -> Binary fission

Two parent cells fusion -> Nuclear division -> One daughter cell

Because they are older in biological age.
