AIIMS 2019 Botany Asexual Reproduction MCQ Question

Budding in yeast (Option A) is a form of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud on the parent organism, allowing for rapid population increase under favorable conditions. In contrast, fragmentation in Spongilla (Option B) is a method of asexual reproduction, but it is not as commonly recognized as budding in yeast. Zoospores (Option C) are motile spores produced by certain fungi and algae, not by Amoeba, which primarily reproduces through binary fission. Lastly, binary fission (Option D) is a method of asexual reproduction in organisms like bacteria and some protozoa, but Hydra reproduces asexually through budding rather than binary fission.
