Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During asexual reproduction in a certain organism, a new organism begins to form on the adult’s body. Eventually, when the new organism is large enough, it breaks off from the adult and lives separately. This type of reproduction is known as
A
parthenogenesis.
B
binary fission.
C
budding.
D
regeneration/fragmentation.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Budding. Budding reproduction refers to the formation of an outgrowth (or bud) from an organism that is capable of developing into a new individual. The outgrowth is genetically the same as the parent but relatively smaller. It may stay attached or eventually split off from the parent.

Detailed explanation-4: -Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent. The new individuals produced are genetically and physically identical to each other, i.e., they are the clones of their parents. Asexual reproduction is observed in both multicellular and unicellular organisms.
