Question

What is the basic difference between binary fission and budding?
  1. In budding, the parent's identity is lost, while in binary fission, it is maintained.
  2. In binary fission, the parent's identity is lost, while it is maintained in budding.
  3. There is a fusion of daughter cells in binary fission while in budding, genetically non-identical daughter cells are produced.
  4. In binary fission, two dissimilar individuals (daughter cells) are formed while in budding, daughter and parent cells are similar.

A

C
In binary fission, two dissimilar individuals (daughter cells) are formed while in budding, daughter and parent cells are similar.
D
In binary fission, the parent's identity is lost, while it is maintained in budding.

Verified by Toppr

  • Binary fission and budding both are the modes of asexual reproduction. But in binary fission, the parent cell splits into two daughter cells and loses its identity.
  • Whereas in budding, the parent cell first produces an outgrowth or bud which gets detached after maturity and survives as an individual. The parent identity is thus retained.
  • In binary fission, the cytoplasm divides evenly whereas in budding cytoplasm divides unevenly.
    Hence, the correct answer is B.
