Question

Budding is commonly seen in
(a) Yeast
(b) Grasses
(c) Amoeba
(d) Spirogyra

Answer 1

Budding is a form of asexual reproduction which occurs in yeast cells. A new organism is produced via mitosis at a specific site in the mother cell, which causes an outgrowth or ‘bud’ to form. (see picture below) Amoeba and Spirogyra also reproduce asexually but via binary fission and fragmentation respectively. Grasses are angiosperms and produce gametes within flowers, thus reproducing sexually.

Answer:

(a) Yeast

Explanation:

Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. The small bulb like projection coming out from the yeast cell is called a bud.
