| List-I (Organism) | List-II (Method of asexual reproduction) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (A) | Hydra | (I) | Fragmentation |
| (B) | Spirogyra | (II) | Spore formation |
| (C) | Planaria | (III) | Regeneration |
| (D) | Rhizopus | (IV) | Budding |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(II)
(A) Hydra — this matches (IV) Budding. A small outgrowth (bud) forms on its body, grows into a tiny individual and detaches.
(B) Spirogyra — this matches (I) Fragmentation. The mature filament simply breaks into pieces, and each piece grows into a new filament.
(C) Planaria — this matches (III) Regeneration. When it is cut into pieces, each piece grows into a complete organism.
(D) Rhizopus — this matches (II) Spore formation. The bread mould forms spores in sporangia, and each spore can grow into a new mould.
