Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The observation of new daughter cells remaining attached to the parent and then breaking away suggests that the organism uses budding as a mode of reproduction. In budding, a new individual develops as an outgrowth or bud from the parent organism and remains attached to it until it matures and separates to form a new individual.
