Identify from the following, the process of asexual reproduction in Hydra.

Options

A. Budding
B. Sporulation
C. Fragmentation
D. Binary fission

Answer

A

Explanation

Budding may be defined as the production of new individual from an outgrowth of the parent individual. Budding occurs in yeast, some protozoans and certain lower animals (e.g., Hydra, Scypha, etc). In multicellular organisms, such as Hydra, a small protuberance arises from one side of the body. The protuberance grows and develops adult like structure and finally gets detached to lead an independent life.
