Question
…………. is a mode of asexual reproduction.
(a) Cloning
(b) Budding
(c) Pollination
(d) Germination
Solution
(b) Budding.
Cloning is a process by which an entire organism is reproduced in a genetically identical manner from a single cell taken from the parent organism. Pollination and germination are associated with sexual reproduction in plants.

Two very small organisms X and Y both reproduce by the method of budding. Organism X is industrially very important because it is used in making alcohol from sugar. It is also used in making bread. Organism Y Lives in freshwater. If organism Y gets cut into a number of parts accidently, each cut part can grow to form complete organism.
(a) What are organisms X and Y?
(b) What is the name of the process in which X converts sugar into alcohol?
(c) To which class of organisms does X belong?
(d) Name an important body feature of organism Y.
