Q4
Medium
Which of the following processes involves the division of a parent organism into two or more parts, each capable of growing into a new individual?
A. Fragmentation
B. Budding
C. Binary Fission
D. Parthenogenesis
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Fragmentation is the process where an organism breaks into fragments, each capable of developing into a new individual.
Q5
Medium
In which type of asexual reproduction does an organism develop from an unfertilized egg?
A. Budding
B. Binary Fission
C. Parthenogenesis
D. Regeneration
Show Answer & Explanation

Medium
Which of the following best describes vegetative propagation?
A. Only occurs in animals
B. Involves the formation of seeds
C. Involves the growth of new plants from vegetative parts
D. Is the same as binary fission

Hard
Which of the following is a method of asexual reproduction that results in the formation of a new organism from a fragment of the parent organism?
A. Budding
B. Fission
C. Fragmentation
D. Sporulation
Show Answer & Explanation

Fragmentation involves breaking into pieces, each capable of growing into a new individual.
Q9
Hard
In which of the following organisms does binary fission occur?
A. Hydra
B. Amoeba
C. Planaria
D. Yeast
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Binary fission is a common form of asexual reproduction in unicellular organisms like Amoeba.
Q10
Hard
Which asexual reproduction method involves the formation of buds that develop into new individuals?
A. Budding
B. Sporulation
C. Binary Fission
D. Regeneration
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Budding is characterized by the development of new individuals from a bulge on the parent organism.
