Asexual reproduction takes place through budding in

Explanation

Asexual reproduction is a process where a single parent produces offspring without the fusion of gametes. Budding is a specific type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. In Yeast (a unicellular fungus), a small bulb-like projection called a bud forms on the parent cell, grows, and eventually detaches to exist as an independent organism.

  • Amoeba and E. coli primarily reproduce through binary fission, where the parent cell splits into two equal daughter cells.
  • Plasmodium (the malarial parasite) reproduces through multiple fission, where a single parent cell divides into many daughter cells simultaneously.
