Question

In which of the following the binary fission and vegetative reproduction occur? a) Penicillium b) Paramecium c) Plasmodium d) Hydra​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) penicillium - The fungi Penicillium reproduces by vegetative, asexual reproduction as well as sexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, the process takes place by the formation of spores known as the conidiospores. The conidiospores that produce conidia are then expelled.

b) Paramecium - Strictly speaking, the only type of reproduction in Paramecium is asexual binary fission in which a fully grown organism divides into two daughter cells. Paramecium also exhibits several types of sexual processes. Conjugation consists of the temporary union of two organisms and the exchange of micronuclear elements.

C) hydra - When food is plentiful, many Hydra reproduce asexually by budding. The buds form from the body wall, grow into miniature adults and break away when mature. When a hydra is well fed, a new bud can form every two days.

d) plasmodium - Plasmodium reproduces by multiple fissions. The nucleus produces many nuclei by undergoing division. The nuclei result in the formation of daughter cells into the cyst.
