Question
Asexual reproduction takes place through budding in ______.
Options
Amoeba
Yeast
Plasmodium
Leishmania
Bacteria
Solution
Asexual reproduction takes place through budding in yeast.
Explanation:
The most popular asexual reproduction strategy in yeast (the fungus Saccharomyces) is budding. Budding is the process of creating a new individual from a bud, or outgrowth, of the parent individual. Fission is the method of asexual reproduction used by Plasmodium, Leishmania, and Amoeba.

The stem of a fruit tree X fixed in soil is cut in a slanting way. The upper part of stem of another fruit tree Y of different variety of same species is also cut in a slanting way. The cut stem of tree Y, without roots but having some leaves, is placed over the rooted cut stem of tree X in such a way that their cut surfaces fit together properly. While joining the two cut stems, care is taken to make sure that the layer Z of one cut stem is in contact with layer Z of the other cut stem. The joint of cut stem is bound tightly with a piece of cloth and covered properly with polythene. Soon the cut heals and the two stems grow together and become one fruit tree producing leaves, flowers and fruits.
