    Which is the most common method of reproduction in majority of fungi and bacteria?

    A) Binary fission    

    B)        Multiple fission

    C) Budding         

    D)        Spore formation

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Fungi reproduce by vegetative, asexual and sexual means. About 20% fungi propagate only by asexual means. Asexual reproduction takes place during favourable conditions by the formation of a variety of conidia or spores. The spores may be unicellular (e.g., Aspergillus) or multicellular (e.g., Alternaria). Bacteria also reproduce mainly by asexual method and therefore they have a dominant haploid phase in their life-cycle.  Asexual reproduction in bacteria takes place by binary fission, budding, conidia, cysts and endospores.
