Question

Recognise the type of reproduction depicted in the following images.

• A. Fragmentation, Binary fission, Gametes, Budding
• B. Budding, Binary fission, Gametes, Fragmentation
• C. Fragmentation, Gametes, Binary fission, Budding
• D. Binary fission, Fragmentation, Gametes, Budding

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Fragmentation, Binary fission, Gametes, Budding

Figure (i) depicts reproduction by fragmentation in starfish, in which one split part of the starfish grows into a new individual. Figure (ii) depicts binary fission in bacteria which results in the formation of two identical daughter cells of bacteria. Figure (iii) depicts a sperm and egg cell which are the two different gametes in humans that fuse during sexual reproduction. Finally, Figure (iv) depicts reproduction by budding in yeast.
