Question

Observe the figure and answer the questions.
(i) What do the above figure shows? Label them.
(ii) In which types of living organism do the life process take place?
(iii) Why is the parent cell is important in this life process?
(iv) How are these process is different from each others?

Answer 1

(i) The given figure shows different modes of asexual reproduction-

Figure (a), (c) shows- binary fission and figure (b) shows multiple fission, and figure (d) shows budding.

(II) All these organisms are a unicellular organism and all the life processes occur through a single cell like respiration digestion etc.

(III) Parent cell is important for the reproduction process, as well as the parent organism, is important for the continuation of the generation of an organism.

(IV) These are all the types of asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction involvement of single parent takes place whereas in sexual reproduction involvement of two-parent organism takes place. In this type of reproduction, offspring is the identical copy of their parent. Whereas in sexual reproduction an offspring differ from their parents.
