Question

........... form of asexual reproduction produces organisms in the form of fragments.

• A. Fragmentation
• B. Budding
  
• C. Binary fission
  
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Fragmentation

A. Fragmentation is the process of breaking down of parent individual into small pieces or fragments accidentally or through external force. Each piece or fragment develops into a new individual. Fragments are the part of the body of an organism that may develop into a new individual.

B. Budding is the process in which the parent cell produces one or more bud like protuberances which detach from parent cell and grow into new individual.

C. Binary fission is the process of division of parent cell into two daughter cells of equal size. During binary fission, the cell elongates and its nucleus divides into two daughter nuclei.

Hence, the form of asexual reproduction produces organisms in the form of fragments is fragmentation. So, the correct answer is 'Fragmentation'.
