The type of asexual reproduction in yeast where a small outgrowth develops into a new individual is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The type of asexual reproduction in yeast where a small outgrowth develops into a new individual is:
A. Fragmentation
B. Spore formation
C. Binary fission
D. Budding
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Budding is an asymmetric division where a new yeast cell forms as a small bud on the parent, eventually pinching off. Binary fission is symmetric splitting (bacteria), fragmentation is breaking into pieces, spore formation involves spores. Budding can occur in some hydra as well.

In the XX-XY system of sex determination, the male is:
A. Homogametic (XX)
B. Diploid (XX)
C. Haploid (X)
D. Heterogametic (XY)

Correct Answer: Option D
