During asexual reproduction, the formation of Gemmules is seen in which of the following organisms ? Correct Answer Sponges

Concept:
  • Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which new offsprings are produced by a single parent without the involvement of gametes or fertilization.
  • Offspring produced by such reproduction are genetically identical copies of the parents.
  • Asexual reproduction is of the following types:
  • Binary fission
  • Budding
  • Fragmentation
  • Gemma-cup formation
  • Spore formation
  • Vegetative propagation
  • Gemmule formation

​Explanation:

  • Gemmules are small internal buds that are formed in Sponges. These are mode of asexual reproduction in sponges
  • The gemmules are capable of producing the entire organism.
  • The gemmules are thick-walled and they help the sponges to withstand unfavourable conditions, on the onset of favourable conditions the gemmules germinates to form the offspring
