Raghav was confused about how plants reproduce asexually. His teacher explained methods like Budding and Fragmentation, but Raghav wasn't sure how to tell them apart. Which of the following best distinguishes the two processes?
In budding, a small protrusion forms on the parent and may stay attached before detaching, while in fragmentation, the parent breaks into pieces, and each piece grows into a new organism.
In budding, offspring develop from specialized reproductive cells, whereas in fragmentation, the parent divides under environmental stress to form new organisms.
In budding, a small part of the parent detaches and grows into an independent organism, whereas in fragmentation, the parent splits into fragments that grow into independent organisms.
In budding, the offspring remain attached to the parent for a while, while in fragmentation, the parent breaks into two parts that grow into independent organisms.
