Detailed explanation-1: -Asexual reproduction requires only one parent.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Asexual reproduction includes fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis, while sexual reproduction is achieved through the combination of reproductive cells from two individuals.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hydra generally reproduces asexually. They do this through budding.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hydra and yeast, for example, reproduce by budding.
