Question

Match the statement in column I with those in column II:

Column 1	Column 2
Mucor	Vegetative propagation
Potato	Budding
Amoeba	Spore formation
Yeast	Binary fission

Answer 1

(A) Mucor (III) Spore formation.

1. Mucor is a type of fungus that reproduces asexually by the means of the formation of spores.
2. After maturation of Mucor, the spores are dispersed in the air and during favorable seasons the spores germinate.

(B) Potato (I) Vegetative propagation.

1. Vegetative propagation is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new plant grows from a cutting off or fragment of a parent plant.
2. Potato contains nodes or eyes through which the formation of a new plant takes place.

(C) Amoeba (IV) Binary fission.

1. Amoeba is a unicellular organism in which reproduction occurs through binary fission.
2. In this, the parent organism splits into two new individuals.

(D) Yeast (II) Budding.

1. Yeast is a unicellular organism in which reproduction occurs through budding.
2. In this, a small bud is detached in the form of a new organism and this organism lives independently.

Final answer:

Column I	Column II
(A) Mucor	(III) Spore formation
(B) Potato	(I) Vegetative propagation
(C) Amoeba	(IV) Binary fission
(D) Yeast	(II) Budding
