Mr. BALACHANDRA.N · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: B
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Asexual Reproduction
	**Related Topics**: Budding, Fragmentation, Binary Fission, Spore Formation
	**Prerequisites**: Understanding different modes of asexual reproduction.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	The question describes a process where a small outgrowth from a parent organism develops into a new individual.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Identify the type of asexual reproduction described.
		Reasoning: The question specifies a small outgrowth from the parent. This eliminates fragmentation (breaking into parts), spore formation (producing spores), and binary fission (splitting into two).
		Formula/Rule:  None directly applicable; this is a definition-based question.
	2. Recall the definition of budding.
		Working: Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site.
		Key Point: The bud eventually detaches and becomes an independent organism.
	3. Determine the correct answer.
		Result: Budding accurately describes the process mentioned in the question.
		Verification: The description perfectly matches the definition of budding.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
A :x: Fragmentation involves breaking of the parent organism into fragments, each capable of becoming a new organism. This is not what the question describes.
B ✓: Budding is the correct answer as it describes the formation of a new individual from an outgrowth of the parent.
C :x: Spore formation involves the production of specialized cells (spores) that can develop into new individuals. This is not a direct outgrowth from the parent body.
D :x: Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction where a single-celled organism divides into two identical daughter cells. This is not applicable to multicellular organisms forming outgrowths.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing budding with fragmentation:  Focus on the 'outgrowth' detail in the question.
		2. Misunderstanding spore formation: Remember that spores are specialized reproductive cells, not outgrowths.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Visualize the process: Imagine a hydra forming a bud.
		2. Use mnemonics:  Associate 'bud' with 'outgrowth' to remember the definition of budding.
