Worked practice questions

In **asexual reproduction**, the daughter organisms produced from a single parent are:

  1. Genetically diverse offspring
  2. Genetically identical clones
  3. Always sterile
  4. Always of the opposite sex
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Genetically identical clones

Asexual reproduction does not involve meiosis or gamete fusion. Single parent ⇒ daughters share the parent's genome exactly ⇒ they are clones.

**Gemmule formation** is an asexual reproductive method seen exclusively in:

  1. Hydra
  2. Sponges (e.g. Spongilla)
  3. Planaria
  4. Amoeba
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Sponges (e.g. Spongilla)

Gemmules are internal buds of dormant archaeocytes coated by amoebocytes — they form **only in sponges** and survive unfavourable conditions. Hydra buds externally Planaria fragments; Amoeba undergoes binary fission.

External **budding** as a method of asexual reproduction is best illustrated by:

  1. Spongilla
  2. Hydra
  3. Planaria
  4. Frog
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Hydra

Hydra produces a small outgrowth at its basal end which develops tentacles, detaches, and becomes a new independent organism — the classical example of budding.
