Question

Match items in Column I with those in Column II.

Answer 1

A) Budding involves the formation of a new organism from a projection called bud. After growing to full size, the bud gets detached from a parent and forms a new independent individual. It is commonly observed in yeast.

B) The type of asexual reproduction in which vegetative parts of a plant like stems, leaves and root, etc. give rise to new onesis called vegetative propagation. Example includes eye growth in potatoes.

C) Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism is formed from the fragments of the parent organism. It is the only mode of asexual reproduction in Spirogyra.

D) The seeds that are usually smaller in size or that have wings or hair like structures get dispersed by wind to far away places. Examples- sunflower, drumstick, maple, etc.

E) The method in which a spore wall is formed around a bacterial cell to form an endospore is called endospore formation. Under favourable conditions, this endospore germinates to form an active bacteria. It is found in fungus (bread mould).

Hence, the correct match is A- 3, B- 5, C- 2, D- 1, E- 4.
