Question

state the mode of reproduction in the following organisms: earthworm rhizopus, frog , and plasmodium​

Answer 1

Answer:

In almost all frogs, fertilization of the egg happens outside the female's body as opposed to inside. The female releases eggs and then the male releases his sperm simultaneously. Rhizopus: it reproduces asexually through spore formation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Earthworm - Cross Fertilization

Rhizopus - Asexual and sexual spores

Frog - Cross and external fertilization

Plasmodium - Mutilple fissions (Asexual)

Explanation:

• Earthworm - is a bisexual organism and contains both male and female reproductive organs. The mode of reproduction is sexual and through cross-fertilization.

• Rhizopus - are the coenocytic fungi. They reproduce either via asexual or sexual spores. Asexual spores are known as sporangiospores.

• Frog - reproduce via sexual reproduction and external and cross-fertilization. The female frog releases eggs outside the body which are then fertilized by the male frog.

• Plasmodium - reproduces via asexual reproduction. The nucleus divides multiple times and is then surrounded by cytoplasm leading to the formation of cells inside the cyst. Then during favorable conditions, the cells are released.
