Vedclass · Answer

(C) The Assertion is correct because,in single-celled organisms like bacteria or protozoa,the parent cell divides into two daughter cells,effectively continuing its life without a natural death. Thus,they are considered biologically immortal.The Reason is incorrect because budding is a form of asexual reproduction found in organisms like yeast or Hydra,but it does not make multicellular plant or animal species 'immortal'. Multicellular organisms have a defined life span and undergo senescence and death. Therefore,the statement that they do not die because of budding is factually wrong.
