Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Yeast and hydra reproduce by which method of asexual reproduction?
A
Budding
B
Vegetative propagation
C
Binary fission
D
Sporulation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Budding is a type of asexual reproduction. In hydra, a bud develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell division. Now the nutrition for bud growth is provided by the parent hydra. The development showed by bud starts to develop small tentacles and a mouth.

Detailed explanation-3: -The common asexual method of reproduction by hydras is budding. Buds originate at the junction of the stalk and gastric regions. The bud begins as a hemispherical outpouching that eventually elongates, becomes cylindrical, and develops tentacles. The bud then pinches off and a new individual becomes independent.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hydra reproduces asexually by budding. A bud begins to form on the tubular body of an adult Hydra. The bud develops a mouth and tentacles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Yeast is a single-celled organism that reproduces mostly by budding. In yeast, asexual reproduction occurs through budding; however, certain yeast species also reproduce through binary fission. A bud is a tiny protrusion from the parent cell that pinches off and produces a new individual when it reaches maturity.
