• D. (ii), (iii) and (iv)

Answer 1

The correct option is B

(i), (iii) and (iv)

The correct option is B.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. Asexual reproduction is the mode of reproduction in which a single parent produces offspring.
2. Bananas, reproduce via vegetative propagation( i.e. vegetative parts of a plant such as a root, stem, etc., are capable of producing new plants).
3. In bananas, asexual reproduction occurs by employing vegetative propagation from the stem.
4. Yeast, reproduce by budding (small buds develop from the body wall of the parent that separate and grow further).
5. Amoeba reproduces asexually by binary fission.
6. In dogs, sexual reproduction takes place, (i.e., it involves two sexes-male and female whose gametes fuse constituting sexual reproduction).

Final answer: The animals that reproduce by the asexual method are bananas, yeast & amoeba.
