| LIST I | LIST II |
|---|---|
| Mode of reproduction | Organism |

| B. Zoospores | II. Penicillium |
| C. Conidia | III. Amoeba |
| D. Gemmules | IV. Sponge |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
(A) Binary fission — this matches (III) Amoeba. The single cell of Amoeba divides into two halves, and each half grows into an adult.
(B) Zoospores — this matches (I) Chlamydomonas. This alga makes zoospores, microscopic spores that swim with flagella.
(C) Conidia — this matches (II) Penicillium. This fungus forms conidia, asexual spores borne in chains at the tips of its hyphae.
(D) Gemmules — this matches (IV) Sponge. Sponges form gemmules, internal buds that survive bad conditions and grow into new sponges.
