Question

Identify the wrong pair from the following.

• A. Yeast- Budding
• B. Euglena-binary Fission
• C. Hydra- Multiple Fission
• D. Spirogyra- Fragmentation

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Hydra- Multiple Fission

The correct option is C.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Organisms have different methods for reproduction. In this case, we see that the given option says that Hydra reproduces by multiple fission which is a wrong answer, mostly hydra reproduces by budding.
2. Budding is also a mode of asexual reproduction.
3. We see that new growth is formed in the parent body which is known as the bud, this new outgrowth eventually gets detached from the parent plant and forms a new organism.

Explanation of the incorrect options:

Option A:

The mode of reproduction in the case of yeast is also budding, which is the correct option.

Option B:

1. Euglena divides by binary fission which is also a form of asexual reproduction.
2. In this case, we will see that the parent body divides into two halves to give rise to a new organism.

Option D:

Spirogyra also has a mode of asexual reproduction which is known as fragmentation.

Final answer: The wrong pair is Hydra- Multiple Fission.
