Question

Given diagram represents which type of reproduction?

• A. Fragmentation
• B. Binary fission
• C. Budding
• D. Sexual

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Budding

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.

B. Binary fission is the process of division of a parent cell into two daughter cells of equal size.

C. Budding is the process in which the parent cell produces one or more bud-like structure which detaches from the parent cell and grows into a new individual.

D. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes from two different parents.

Since the given diagram is showing a bud-like structure, it represents the process of budding. So, the correct answer is option C.
