ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these best describes the process of budding?
A
asexual reproduction resulting in the formation of new organisms from outgrowths of mature organisms
B
sexual reproduction resulting in the nucleus of two cells uniting to form a new organism
C
asexual reproduction resulting in the formation of a spore that grows into a new organism
D
sexual reproduction resulting in a sex cell dividing evenly to form two identical daughter cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Budding is an asexual mode of producing new organisms. In this process, a new organism is developed from a small part of the parent’s body. A bud which is formed detaches to develop into a new organism. The newly developed organism remains attached as it grows further.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction where an egg develops into a complete individual without being fertilized. The resulting offspring can be either haploid or diploid, depending on the process and the species.

Detailed explanation-3: -Budding is another method of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from an outgrowth from the parent body known as a bud. These derive nutrition from the parent for growth and development. Once grown, the new organism detaches from the parent body. This process is called budding.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
