Question
How are the modes for reproduction different in unicellular and multicellular organisms?
Solution
In unicellular organisms, reproduction occurs by the division of the entire cell. The modes of reproduction in unicellular organisms can be fission, budding, etc. whereas in multicellular organisms, specialised reproductive organs are present. Therefore, they can reproduce by complex reproductive methods such as vegetative propagation, spore formation, etc. In more complex multicellular organisms, such as human beings, the mode of reproduction is sexual reproduction.
