Accepted Answer

Hi everyone. Let's look at our next question, it says. Which are the following types of a sexual reproduction is commonly observed among pro carry outs and a few. You carry outs in which the organism is divided into two or more parts, producing separate entities that resemble the original. And let's look through our answer choices here. Choice A says vision and vision is our correct answer. That is the term that describes the organism being divided into two more parts, producing separate entities that resemble the original. Um The one you most commonly run across is um binary fission, like at the end of mitosis when the cell divides itself in half, producing two identical clones. But in general it can be divided more than two but producing these separate entities that resemble the original choice B says parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis is a reproductive process when an egg develops into an embryo without being fertilized by a sperm. So not what we're talking about here. So Choice B is not our answer. I see is budding and budding is somewhat similar deficient, but in budding you have, it's a sexual reproduction in which the new organisms is formed from a bud or outgrowth from the parent caused by cell division just in one particular site And the offspring at 1st is much smaller. Since it's formed from this small outgrowth or bud. So that's the difference of budding from fishing. So budding uh since we talked about producing separate entities that resemble the original by budding is not a correct answer here. And finally, we have spore a genesis which is reproduction by spores obviously common in plants as well as other organisms. Not our answer here, spores have thick cell walls. They're adapted for survival um In harsh conditions, they can survive for a long time before they develop. Their also adapted for dispersal from the plant. And in sports genesis, the spores are capable of developing into the entire new organism. So again, the organism dividing itself into two or more parts, producing separate entities that resemble the original. Is choice a fishing. See you in the next video.
