What is the difference between vegetative reproduction and spore production?

I have a science achievement exam tomorrow, and still don't know

what the difference of spore production, binarry fission, budding, and vegetative production are.

Can anyone help? Thank You :)What is the difference between vegetative reproduction and spore production?
Spore formation: spore are unicellular bodies formed by parent to carry out reproduction. If conditions are good the spore will develop into a new individual. They are small and light which can be carried by wind, water, or animals.



Binary fission: Organisms just split in to 2 EQUAL SIZES, each with a copy of the original parent's traits. ie. amoeba



Budding: An organism develops an outgrowth which will detach from the parent to become a new individual



Vegetative reproduction: Found in plants where parts of the plant fall off and develop into new plants. ie. potato tubersWhat is the difference between vegetative reproduction and spore production?
binary fission is an asexual reproduction that bacteria undergo ...nucleus just divides and form a new bacteria



budding...is an asexual reproduction as well common with fungi and hydra species



spore production is not asexual/sexual but a means in which gram positive bacteria can form endospores ...and these endospores can be vegetative after a certain amount of time if food is sitting out to develop into a bacteria ( gram positive )
