Question

Which of the following is correctly matched?

• A. Spores-Sponge
• B. Conidia-Hydra
• C. Gemmules-Amoeba
• D. Bulbil-Agave

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Bulbils are a form of asexual reproduction found in certain plants. They are small, bulb-like structures that develop from the main stem or leaf axils of a plant. Agave, which is a type of succulent plant, can produce bulbils as a means of vegetative propagation.
On the other hand:
(1) Spores are not specific to sponges. Spores are reproductive structures found in various organisms, including fungi, plants, and some protozoa.
(2) Conidia are a type of asexual spores produced by fungi, and they are not associated with Hydra, which is a small aquatic animal.
(3) Gemmules are specialized reproductive structures found in certain sponges, and they are not related to Amoeba, which is a type of single-celled organism.
So, the correct match is (4) Bulbil - Agave.
