Which of the following option represents the similarity between budding and binary fission?

Option: 1

The entire parent cell acts as a unit of reproduction in both budding and binary fission.


Option: 2

The division of the parent cell nucleus is unequal in both budding and binary fission.


Option: 3

The offsprings produced can be called clones in both budding and binary fission.


Option: 4

The division of the parent cell cytoplasm is equal in both budding and binary fission.


Answers (1)

Budding differs from binary fission because it does not involve an equal division of the parent cell nucleus as well as of cytoplasm. The parent cell does not function as a reproductive unit during budding. Since both budding and binary fission are forms of asexual reproduction, so the offsprings produced through both the methods can be referred to as clones. 

Hence, the option c is correct.
