Question

Which type of reproduction seen in Hydra?
1. Regeneration
2. Budding
3. Fission
4. Fragnentation

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Budding

The correct answer is Budding.

• Hydra may have one or more bulges. These bulges are called buds.
  • Budding is a process in which a growth (bud) is formed on the body of the parent organism which then detaches and becomes a new organism such as yeast and hydra.

• Types of reproduction
  • Asexual reproduction: This type of reproduction in which only one single parent is involved is called asexual reproduction.
  • Sexual reproduction: This type of reproduction beginning from the fusion of male and female gametes is called sexual reproduction.

• Regeneration: The process of getting back a complete organism from the body parts of present individuals is called regeneration,
• Fragmentation: In this process, an organism breaks into two or more pieces and each piece develops into an adult organism. eg. Spirogyra.
• Fission: A cell dividing into two or more.
