Which one of the following type of asexual reproduction is not found in fungi?
Correct answer: C. Binary fission
- A. Budding
- B. Fragmentation
- C. Binary fission
- D. Spores
Explanation
The correct answer is binary fission. This method of asexual reproduction involves the division of a single organism into two parts, each of which grows into a new organism, and is primarily found in prokaryotic organisms like bacteria, not fungi. In contrast, fungi commonly reproduce asexually through budding, fragmentation, and spore formation, which involve different mechanisms suited to their eukaryotic nature and complex life cycles.

About Kingdom Fungi
Fungi are mainly multicellular, non-photosynthetic organisms with chitinous cell walls that obtain nutrients by extracellular digestion and absorption. Coverage includes hyphae, mycelium, spores, yeast, moulds, mushrooms, decomposer and parasitic roles, and the differences between fungi, plants and bacteria.
