Question

What observation can be made by viewing the slides under the microscope on binary fission in Amoeba and budding in yeast?

• A. The daughter cells of Amoeba and the bud of yeast are smaller than their respective parent cells.
• B. The daughter cells of Amoeba and the bud of Yeast are of the same size as their respective parent cells.
• C. The daughter cells of Amoeba are bigger than the parent cells but bud of yeast is smaller than the parents.
• D. The daughter cells of Amoeba are smaller than the parents but bud of yeast is larger than the parents.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The daughter cells of Amoeba and the bud of yeast are smaller than their respective parent cells.

Binary fission and budding are types of asexual reproduction where reproduction that takes place without gametes formation. During both of these processes, rapid multiplication occurs and the new organisms produced are genetically and morphologically identical to the parent however daughter cells/organisms are comparatively smaller in size than their parents.

So, the correct answer is "The daughter cells of Amoeba and the bud of yeast are smaller than their respective parent cells"
