In the amitotic cell division, when the nuclear portions are unequal in size, the process is generally called:
Correct answer: C. Nuclear Budding
- A. Karyokinesis
- B. Karyolysis
- C. Nuclear Budding
- D. Nuclear Localization
- E. Nuclear Fragmentation
Explanation
Nuclear budding is a mechanism used by certain fungi, yeast, and other unicellular organisms as a means of asexual reproduction, allowing them to produce genetically identical offspring quickly. Nuclear budding involves the division of the nucleus first, followed by the separation of the cytoplasm. A small part(unequal in size) of the parent cell's nucleus buds off or pinches off to form a smaller, separate nucleus.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
