Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An organism capable of reproducing by two asexual reproduction methods one similar to the reproduction in yeast and the other similar to the reproduction in Planaria is:
A
Spirogyra
B
Hydra
C
Bryophyllum
D
Paramecium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydra can reproduce by the method of budding similar to yeast, and also by regeneration as in the case of Planaria.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual reproduction 1) Binary fission: Single parent cell doubles its DNA, then divides into two cells. Usually occurs in bacteria. 2) Budding: Small growth on surface of parent breaks off, resulting in the formation of two individuals.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Fragmentation. This type of asexual reproduction is exhibited by Planaria. In this, the parent body breaks into several pieces where each piece grows into a new individual.
