Question 9

Prokaryotic cell division

Accepted Answer

binary fission

Answer

budding

Answer

regeneration

Question 10

Offspring growing on the body of its parent

Accepted Answer

budding

Answer

fission

Answer

regeneration

Question 11

Offspring growing from a piece of its parent

Accepted Answer

regeneration

Answer

budding

Answer

fission

Question 12

This is when a new organism grows by cell division on the body of its parent. The bud, or offspring is identical to the parent. The bud, when large enough, can break off of the parent and live on its own. Examples of this include yeast, hydra and potatoes.
