ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Reproduction of an organism by splitting into two unequal parts is called ____
A
sporulation
B
vegetative propagation
C
budding
D
binary fission
E
fragmentation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -budding, in biology, a form of asexual reproduction in which a new individual develops from some generative anatomical point of the parent organism. In some species buds may be produced from almost any point of the body, but in many cases budding is restricted to specialized areas.

Detailed explanation-2: -In budding the division is unequal II. Binary fission is a mode of asexual reproduction found in both prokaryotes and Eukaryotes III. The type of reproduction involving single parent is always asexual.

Detailed explanation-3: -Budding or blastogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site.

Detailed explanation-4: -binary fission, asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies. In the process of binary fission, an organism duplicates its genetic material, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA.
