Question

Match the given images with the type of reproduction they represent.

• A. Binary fission
• B. Multiple fission
• C. Budding

Answer 1

Fission is a type of asexual reproduction in unicellular organisms like bacteria. In binary fission two individuals are formed from a single parent. In multiple fission many organisms are formed from a single parent. E.g. yeast. Hydra reproduces by budding. In this process, one or more outgrowths or buds may appear on the body. These buds on maturation form new individuals.
