Reproduction in Organisms

Question:

Identify the following figure.

 

Options:

Conidia of Penicillium.

Binary fission in Paramecium .

Binary fission in Amoeba .

Budding in Yeast.

Correct Answer:

Budding in Yeast.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - Budding in Yeast.

Many single-celled organisms reproduce by binary fission, where a cell divides into two halves and each rapidly grows into an adult (e.g., Amoeba, Paramecium). In yeast, the division is unequal and small buds are produced that remain attached initially to the parent cell which, eventually gets separated and mature into new yeast organisms (cells).
