Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do budding, binary fission and spore formation have in common?
A
They require two parents
B
They require only one parent cell
C
They produce only one daughter cell
D
They are all forms of sexual reproduction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What are the Similarities Between Binary Fission and Budding? Binary fission and budding are two modes of asexual reproduction. These methods produce genetically identical offspring to that of the parent. Both are very simple and rapid methods.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent. There are many types of asexual reproduction. Four major types are: 1) Binary fission: Single parent cell doubles its DNA, then divides into two cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Example-Budding, binary fission, and spore formation are the different ways of asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction does not require gametic fusion and the offspring produced is identical to the parents.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent because the offspring are all clones of the original parent. A single individual can produce offspring asexually and large numbers of offspring can be produced quickly.
