Question

What kind of reproduction is shown in this diagram?

• A. Mode of Reproduction - Budding
  Condition - Favourable
• B. Mode of Reproduction - Binary fission
  Condition - Favourable
• C. Mode of Reproduction - spore formation
  Condition - Unfavourable
• D. Mode of Reproduction - Budding
  Condition - Unfavourable

Answer 1

The correct option is B Mode of Reproduction - Binary fission

Condition - Favourable
The mode of reproduction as shown in the diagram is binary fission. Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction. It is the most common form of reproduction in prokaryotes such as bacteria. It occurs in some single-celled eukaryotes like amoeba and paramecium. In binary fission, DNA replication and segregation occurs simultaneously. In binary fission, the fully grown parent cell splits into two halves, producing two new cells. The genetic material is replicated, then equally split.

So, the correct answer is 'Mode of reproduction - Binary fission Condition - favourable'.
