Question

Asexual reproduction takes place through budding in
a. Amoeba
b. Yeast
c. Plasmodium
d.cLeishmania

Answer 1

Asexual reproduction happens when, without sharing genetic material with another organism by sex, an organism makes more of itself. Asexually reproducing species can experience a dangerous lack of diversity, but they can also replicate faster than organisms that reproduce sexually, and without the need for a partner, a single individual can find a new population.

Complete answer:
Some species that practise asexual reproduction will share genetic material using horizontal gene transfer forms, such as bacteria that use plasmids to move around small bits of DNA, to encourage diversity. This procedure, however, results in less individual genotypes than sexual reproduction. Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in biology in which a new person emerges from some anatomical generative point of the parent organism. Buds may be formed from almost any point of the body in some species, but budding is confined to specialised areas in many cases.

Amoeba- An ameba is a eukaryotic, unicellular organism that is extremely motile. Usually belonging to the protozoa of the empire, it moves in a "amoeboid" form. As such, the word "amoeboid" is often used by microbiologists to refer to a particular form of motion and amoebae interchangeably.

Yeast- Via a procedure known as budding, yeast reproduces asexually. Yeast, on the other hand, sometimes takes part in sexual reproduction, which is significant because it exposes a population to genetic variation.

Plasmodium- The Plasmodium falciparum protozoan has a complex life cycle in which asexual multiplication alternates with obligatory sexual reproduction in the anopheline mosquito in the vertebrate host.

Leishmania- Parasitic protozoa of the Leishmania family multiply by binary fission, however, evidence from quantitative microspectrophotometry show that intracellular amastigote type occurs in nuclear fusion or sexual reproduction.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note: The initial protuberance of proliferating cytoplasm or cells, the bud, gradually grows into an organism duplicating the parent. To live separately, the new individual may split, or the buds may remain attached, forming aggregates or colonies. Budding is characteristic of a few species which are unicellular.
