Answer 2

Answer:

Budding is a type of asexual reproduction which does not involve fusion of gametes. A new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. The bud remains attached to the parent plant and separates after it gets mature. It leaves a scar at the point of separation. The newly developed organism is a clone of its parent cell.

The mechanism of budding is as followed:

1) The nucleus divides.

2) An outgrowth grows from the parent plant which is known as a bud.

3) The bud receives a copied nucleus.

4) Bud gets mature and separates from the parent by taking a nucleus and small amount of cytoplasm.

5) It grows into a well-developed organism.

So, the correct answer is option A.
