Question

Select the option having the correct matching of the organism given in Column I with the mode of reproduction in Column II:

	Column I		Column II
P	Leishmania	1.	Regeneration
Q	Spirogyra	2.	Multiple Fission
R	Planaria	3.	Binary Fission
S	Plasmodium	4.	Fragmentation
		5.	Budding

Options

• P - 4, Q - 2, R - 1, S - 3

• P - 3, Q - 4, R - 5, S - 2

• P - 3, Q - 4, R - 1, S - 2

• P - 4, Q - 3, R - 2, S - 1

Answer 1

P - 3, Q - 4, R - 1, S - 2

Explanation:

	Column I		Column II
P	Leishmania	3.	Binary Fission
Q	Spirogyra	4.	Fragmentation
R	Planaria	1.	Regeneration
S	Plasmodium	2.	Multiple Fission

• Leishmania reproduces by binary fission, using a whip-like flagellum.
• Spirogyra reproduces through fragmentation when a filament breaks into fragments and develops.
• Planaria reproduces by regeneration, with the ability to rebuild body parts.
• Plasmodium reproduces through multiple fission, producing many daughter cells at once.
