Question

(a) How is the process of binary fission different from budding?
(b) What is grafting?
(c) List two advantages of vegetative propagation.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)binary fission occurs in protists like amoeba in this the organism splits intobtwo new similar daughter organisms it mostly occors during favourable conditions (plenty of food) it can be further divided into simple binary fission ,transverse binary fission,and longitudinal binary fission where as budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which the new organism develops from.an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular side it occurs in fungi like yeast

(b)grafting is the method of artificial reproduction in this method the branch from a tree bis cut slantly n then fixed into another tree of same species by biotic compounds like cow dung after proper nutrition the branch joints the tree

(c)vegetative propogation is a type of reproduction in which new organism grows from vegetative pats like roots ,stem ,leaves,etc as it is asexual reproduction no genetic re combination occurs and it is a fast process
