Multiple choice

Budding in hydra and yeast occurs by

  1. longitudinal division of the parent body into two

  2. transverse division of the parent body into two

  3. formation of an outgrowth on the parent body

  4. formation of spores in the parent body
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Longitudinal or transverse divisions are features of binary fission and not related to budding. Bud appears as an outgrowth on the parent body and later forms an individual, which separates afterwards from the parent. Spores are not formed during any stage in budding method. Thus, only option (3) is correct.
