Question

Which form of asexual reproduction involves the development of a new organism from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site?

T SAILAJA · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: C
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Asexual Reproduction
 **Related Topics**: Budding, Fragmentation, Binary Fission, Spore Formation
 **Prerequisites**: Understanding of cell division and asexual reproduction methods.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
The question describes a type of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud.
**Method & Steps**:
1. Identify the characteristic of the described reproduction method:  The key is the development of a new organism from an outgrowth or bud at a specific site.
 Reasoning: This eliminates methods like fragmentation (breaking into pieces) and spore formation (producing spores).
 Formula/Rule: N/A
2. Compare the given options:
  a. Fragmentation: Involves breaking of the parent organism into fragments, each capable of developing into a new organism. This doesn't fit the description of a bud.
  b. Binary fission: Involves the division of a single organism into two equal parts.  This does not involve a bud.
  c. Budding: The process where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. This perfectly matches the description.
  d. Spore formation: Involves the production of specialized cells (spores) that can develop into new organisms. This doesn't involve an outgrowth or bud.
 Working: By comparing the definition of each option to the question's description, budding is the only method that matches.
 Key Point:  The location of cell division being at a 'particular site' is crucial in identifying budding.
3. Select the correct answer.
  Result: Budding (Option C)
  Verification: The definition of budding directly aligns with the description in the question.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
A :x: Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction where the parent organism breaks into fragments, each capable of becoming a new organism.  It doesn't involve a bud.
B :x: Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a single organism divides into two equal parts.  It does not involve a bud.
C ✓: Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops as an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. This accurately describes the process.
D :x: Spore formation is a type of asexual reproduction where new organisms develop from spores. This doesn't involve an outgrowth or bud.
## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**:
  1.Confusing budding with fragmentation:  Focus on the 'outgrowth or bud' characteristic to distinguish them.
  2.Overlooking the 'particular site' detail: This detail is key to identifying budding.
 **Quick Tips**:
  1.Visualize the process: Imagine a yeast cell budding.  This helps to remember the characteristics of budding.
  2.Use mnemonics:  Create a mnemonic device to remember the differences between the types of asexual reproduction.
