Question

Which of the following is not a process of asexual reproduction?

• (A) Budding
• (B) Syngamy
• (C) Gemmulation
• (D) Fragmentation

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Explanation:
Syngamy is the phenomenon of cell formed by fusion. The fused cell has double the content of the individual cell. Syngamy is commonly called fertilization resulting in formation of zygote. Syngamy is commonly seen in sexual reproduction where two gametes fuse to form zygote.In certain organisms, small buds are produced attached to the parent organism which grow and eventually separate to develop into new organism. Fragmentation is a type of asexual reproduction where the body of the organism breaks into pieces and each piece gives rise to whole new organism. These processes are types of asexual reproduction.Hence, the correct option is (B).
