Question

Match the pairs of types of asexual reproduction.

Section-A	Section-B
(1) Fission	(i) Spirogyra
(2) Fragmentation	(ii) Paramecium
(3) Regeneration	(iii) Mucor
(4) Spore formation	(iv) Planaria

• A. 1 - iv, 2 - iii, 3 - ii, 4 - i
• B. 1 - ii, 2 - i, 3 - iv, 4 - iii
• C. 1 - ii, 2 - iii, 3 - iv, 4 - i
• D. 1 - iii, 2 - iv, 3 - i, 4 - ii

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

1 - ii, 2 - i, 3 - iv, 4 - iii

1. Paramecium: It undergoes fission, a type of asexual reproduction. It duplicates all the contents of the cell and divides into two halves generating two daughter cells.
2. Spirogyra: It reproduces by the process of fragmentation. The organism splits into small fragments and each fragment produces a new Spirogyra.
3. Planaria: It can regenerate any lost part of its body. It undergoes asexual reproduction by regeneration.
4. Mucor: It reproduces by spore formation. It produces spores that can germinate and form an individual organism.
