Question

When you study a slide showing different stages of budding in yeast, you observe the following stages :
I. The bud gets separated from the parent body and develops into a new individual.
II. The bud remains attached to the parent body and develops.
III. A bud comes out in any direction from the body of the parent cell.
IV. The new individual grows independently.

The proper sequence of the above stages is :
A. II, I, III, IV
B. II, III, I, IV
C. III, II, I, IV
D. III, I, II, IV
E. II, III, IV, I

Answer 1

Hint: A form of asexual reproduction is budding where a new individual or daughter develops from some generative part of mother cells. The mode of reproduction depends upon the formation of buds (a bulb-like projection) due to cell division in a particular site. In the case of Hydra, the organism performs the process of budding with the help of regenerative cells.

Complete answer:
The correct sequence involves the origin of the bud then the development of the bud followed by the separation of the bud from the parent cell and finally the individual growth of the bud ( III-🡪II🡪I🡪IV).
The above-mentioned sequence is seen in option C, so the correct option is option C.

If we look at the sequence initially a bud formation is required which is not found in the case of option A.
so option A is incorrect.

Like option A here also the sequence is started by attachment of the bud.
Hence option B is incorrect.

In the case of option D, the sequence starts with the growth of the bud but the bud next develops before getting separated, which is not mentioned in the sequence.
Hence option D is incorrect.

Like options A and B, option E also possesses the same problem.
hence the option E is incorrect.

Note:
Other types of asexual reproduction includes Fission (seen in amoeba), Zoospores formation (Chlamydomonas), Conidia (penicillin), Gemule formation (sponge). In the case of plants vegetative propagation is seen by means of vegetative propagules like the runner (grass), rhizome(ginger), sucker (bananas), tuber (potato), offset (water hyacinth), bulb (onion).
