Question

Which of the following is incorrectly matched?

• A. A bacterium splitting into two - asexual reproduction
• B. A tadpole hatching out of a frog egg - asexual reproduction
• C. Planting seeds for agriculture - sexual reproduction
• D. The birth of a baby elephant - sexual reproduction

Answer 1

The correct option is B A tadpole hatching out of a frog egg - asexual reproduction

In asexual reproduction, only one parent is involved; like budding in yeast, binary fission in bacteria, amoeba, etc., and multiple fission in Plasmodium. On the other hand in sexual reproduction, two parents are involved. For example, a baby elephant is born out of sexual reproduction. Similarly, plant seeds are also products of sexual reproduction.
