Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What kind of reproduction starts with a small growth that gets larger and then falls off and makes a new organism?
A
binary fission
B
fragmentation
C
mitosis
D
budding
E
runners
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -1) Binary fission: Single parent cell doubles its DNA, then divides into two cells. Usually occurs in bacteria. 2) Budding: Small growth on surface of parent breaks off, resulting in the formation of two individuals. Occurs in yeast and some animals (like the hydra below).

Detailed explanation-2: -Budding. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction that results from the outgrowth of a part of a cell or body region leading to a separation from the original organism into two individuals. Budding occurs commonly in some invertebrate animals such as corals and hydras.

Detailed explanation-3: -Budding is a form 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: -The correct option is A Budding. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which a small outgrowth called a bud develops in the body of the parent organism. This bud can detach and grow into a new individual.

Detailed explanation-5: -Budding is a form of asexual reproduction that results from the outgrowth of a part of the body leading to a separation of the “bud” from the original organism and the formation of two individuals, one smaller than the other. Budding occurs commonly in some invertebrate animals such as hydras and corals.
