Which of the following is correctly matched?
- Spores-Sponge
- Conidia-Hydra
- Gemmules-Amoeba
- Bulbil-Agave
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Bulbils are a form of asexual reproduction found in certain plants. They are small, bulb-like structures that develop from the main stem or leaf axils of a plant. Agave, which is a type of succulent plant, can produce bulbils as a means of vegetative propagation.
On the other hand:
(1) Spores are not specific to sponges. Spores are reproductive structures found in various organisms, including fungi, plants, and some protozoa.
(2) Conidia are a type of asexual spores produced by fungi, and they are not associated with Hydra, which is a small aquatic animal.
(3) Gemmules are specialized reproductive structures found in certain sponges, and they are not related to Amoeba, which is a type of single-celled organism.
So, the correct match is (4) Bulbil - Agave.
Top Questions on Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual reproduction involves a single parent to produce offspring without the formation of gametes. It occurs by the following ways: Fission, Budding, Fragmentation, Spore formation and Regeneration. In one of the methods like regeneration, Planaria A is cut horizontally into three pieces – L, M and N and Planaria B is cut vertically into two equal halves – O and P.
(a) Which of the cut pieces of the two Planaria could regenerate to form a complete organism?
(b) Give an example of another organism which follows the same mode of reproduction as Planaria.
(c) What is the meaning of ‘development’ in regeneration?
