Question

Match the following organisms with their correct asexual reproductive structure/process.

	Column I		Column II
p	Yeast	1.	Conidia
q	Planaria	2.	Budding
r	Penicillium	3.	Binary fission
s	Paramecium	4.	Fragmentation

• A. p - 4, q - 3, r - 2, s - 1
• B. p - 3, q - 2, r - 1, s - 4
• C. p - 1, q - 4, r - 3, s - 2
• D. p - 2, q - 4, r - 1, s - 3

Answer 1

The correct option is D p - 2, q - 4, r - 1, s - 3

Yeast reproduces by process of budding. Small outgrowths called buds are produced which remain attached to the parent cell and eventually get separated and developed into new yeast organisms /cells.

Planaria reproduces by fragmentation. Its body breaks into distinct fragments. Each fragment grows into an adult planaria capable of producing offspring.

Penicillium reproduces conidiospores which are exogenous and non-motile structures.

Paramecium reproduces by method of binary fission. In binary fission a cell divides into two halves and each rapidly grows into an adult.
