Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following produces uniform offspring?
A
external fertilization of frog eggs forms tadpoles
B
Internal fertilization of cats forms kittens
C
pollination of flowers from different plants
D
conjugation of two different bacteria
E
budding of hydra produces a clone hydra
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydra reproduces by budding where a bud detaches from the parent which grows into a complete organism. Whereas amoeba reproduces by binary fission. The process of reproduction begins by the division of its nucleus into two.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydra reproduce asexually through budding.

Detailed explanation-3: -Asexual reproduction generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent. In sexual reproduction, two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hydras usually reproduce asexually by “budding”-a new hydra starts as a “bud” forming on the side of a hydra’s body; it grows and eventually breaks away as a clone of the original.

Detailed explanation-5: -Budding is an asexual reproduction method in which a new organism develops from a bud of an existing organism. Until the new organism matures, it remains attached to the parent organism. Hydra and yeast, for example, reproduce by budding.
