SEXUAL REPRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Budding is a process in which a new individual is formed that is a clone of the parent. This type of reproduction is ____
A
Sexual
B
Sporulation
C
Asexual
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: -Budding is an asexual reproduction method in which a new organism develops from a bud of an existing organism. Until the new organism matures, it remains attached to the parent organism. Hydra and yeast, for example, reproduce by budding.

Detailed explanation-3: -Budding, fragmentation and regeneration are considered as asexual types of reproduction because gamete formation does not happen during these modes of reproduction and a single parent carries out the process of reproduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in plants. The new plant develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. The offspring remains attached to the parent plant as it grows until it is mature.

Detailed explanation-5: -Organism cloning. Organism cloning (also called reproductive cloning) refers to the procedure of creating a new multicellular organism, genetically identical to another. In essence this form of cloning is an asexual method of reproduction, where fertilization or inter-gamete contact does not take place.
