alleryThe formation of a daughter individual from a small projection or bud on the parent body, as seen in yeast, is called:
ABudding
BFission
CFragmentation
DRegeneration
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Budding
1. In budding, a bud (small projection) arises on the parent body and forms a daughter individual.
2. Yeast is the classic example given.
3. Fragmentation is breaking of a filament (Spirogyra), and fission is splitting into two daughter cells (Amoeba), so they are ruled out.
4. Regeneration is regrowth of a whole organism from lost parts (Hydra), so it is wrong.
