• B. It is entirely different with that of parent cell.
• C. Some part of nucleic acid is same as that of parent cell.
• D. A minor similarity is found to that of their parent cell.

Answer 1

The correct option is A It is identical to that of parent cell.

The image represents budding. In some organisms, new individuals develop from the buds. This process is known as budding. It is an example of asexual reproduction. Hence, the newly developed daughter cell will be a replica of the parent and will be genetically identical to its parent cell.
