Question

___ is a mode of asexual reproduction
A. Cloning
B. Budding
C. Pollination
D. Germination

Answer 1

Hint: The reproduction is the biological process by which offsprings or new individual organisms are produced from their "parents". Also called procreation or breeding.

Complete Answer:
- Asexual reproduction always involve single parent which produce two identical offsprings that are genetically same to one another still on the parent. Budding could be a process within which a biological process occurs and a new organism develops as a bud from that site. The new bulb-like organism attached to the parent grows from the yeast cell which is named bud and separates from it only it gets matured. Thus budding may be a process of agamogenesis where a new bud develops from one parent.
- The pollination, it is an act of transferring the pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The goal of each living organism including plants, is to create offspring for the next generation. One of the ways that plants can reproduce offspring is by making seeds.
- Germination is the process by which an organism grows from a seed or similar structure to a new individual. The term is applied to the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm.

Thus, the correct answer is option B, ‘Budding'.

Note: Hydra is an organism that uses regenerative cells for replication within the process of budding. There is a term in agamogenesis called Internal budding.
