Question

How is reproduction in Hydra different from that in Amoeba?

• A. Hydra reproduces by budding, Amoeba reproduces by binary fission.
• B. Hydra reproduces by binary fission, Amoeba reproduces by budding.
• C. Hydra reproduces by sexual reproduction, Amoeba reproduces by asexual reproduction.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Hydra reproduces by budding, Amoeba reproduces by binary fission.

Budding is a mode of asexual reproduction in which a new organism is developed from an outgrowth or bud developed on the parent's body. Hydra reproduces through budding.
Binary fission is also a mode of asexual reproduction in which the parent cell splits into two daughter cells e.g., Amoeba.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
