REPRODUCTION IN ORGANISMS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Hydra reproduce through ____, where the offspring grows from the body of the parent organism.
A
budding
B
DNA
C
thymine
D
mutations
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 occurs in Hydra. In this process, the parent cell remains (or not destroyed) and a new daughter cell is formed. The hydra uses the regenerative cells to produce in this manner. The new hydra grows in the form of a bud and stays attached to the parental body while it grows.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Hydra reproduces by the mechanism of budding and fragmentation. It cannot undergo multiple fission since that is not a viable option for a multicellular organism such as Hydra. Spore formation is an asexual method of reproduction, mostly seen in fungi.

Detailed explanation-5: -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. Some species reproduce sexually, releasing sperm into the water that can reach eggs on another hydra.
