10 Questions
Which organisms commonly exhibit budding as a form of asexual reproduction?
Yeast
What is asexual reproduction?
A type of reproduction involving only a single parent.
Describe the process of budding in asexual reproduction.
A bulb-like projection grows from the parent organism, eventually detaching to form a new individual.
What is fragmentation in the context of asexual reproduction?
The parent organism breaks into fragments, each of which can grow into a new individual.
How are spores important in asexual reproduction?
Spores are tiny, single-celled bodies produced for reproduction and can remain dormant in harsh conditions.
Name two forms of asexual reproduction other than budding.
Fragmentation and spore formation
What type of organisms exhibit fragmentation as a form of asexual reproduction?
Algae like Oscillatoria and Spirogyra
Explain the significance of spores in asexual reproduction.
Spores are produced and released for reproduction, remaining dormant in harsh conditions until they can grow into new plants.
How does a new individual cell form in budding?
A new cell forms by detaching from the parent cell.
Why are spores released from specialized structures of the plant body?
Spores are released from specialized structures for reproduction and dispersal purposes.
Learn about asexual reproduction where only a single parent is involved. Explore different forms like budding, fragmentation, and spore formation commonly seen in algae and fungi. Understand the process of budding in organisms like yeasts.
