The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not correct among the given options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1: Fungi multiply and spread easily due to the production of a large number of asexual spores.** - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Fungi reproduce asexually by producing a large number of spores, which allows them to spread easily in their environment. 2. **Statement 2: Yeast and Hydra reproduce by budding.** - **Analysis:** This statement is also correct. Both yeast (a type of fungus) and Hydra (a simple aquatic animal) reproduce asexually through a process called budding, where a new organism develops from a bud on the parent organism. 3. **Statement 3: In planaria, asexual reproduction takes place by budding.** - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. Planaria, a type of flatworm, primarily reproduce asexually through fission, not budding. During fission, the organism splits into two or more parts, and each part can regenerate into a complete organism. 4. **Statement 4: Fungi and algae can easily multiply by fragmentation.** - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Both fungi and certain algae can reproduce asexually through fragmentation, where parts of the organism break off and grow into new individuals. ### Conclusion: The statement that is not correct is **Statement 3: In planaria, asexual reproduction takes place by budding.** ---
