Q

Modified leaves that in case a developing flower they are the sterile parts of the flower and are usually green or leaf like

A

Sepals

18
Q

In this type of reproduction the parent cell divides into two equal parts each containing a nucleus these are called daughter cells the daughter cells are genetically and physically similar to the parent cell this type of asexual reproduction can be seen in organism such as amoeba bacteria etc

A

Binary Fission

19
Q

This type of asexual reproduction is exhibited by planaria a species of flatworm here the parent body breaks into several places where each place grows into a new individual the detachment of the body parts is intentional

A

Fragmentation

20
Q

Is a method of asexual reproduction where a new organism develops from an outgrowth from the parent body known as a bud this derived nutrition from the parent for growth and development once grown the new organism detach from the parent body this process is called _____ this type of reproduction can be seen in hydra

A

Budding
