Question

Hydra generally reproduces by

• A. Budding
• B. Fragmentation
• C. Sexual reproduction
• D. Gemmulation

Answer 1

The correct option is A Budding

At the tubular part of Hydra, there is a rapid cell division at a particular site and produces outgrowth or bud. This bud consists of epidermis and gastrodermis. The bud enlarges, develops a mouth and a circlet of tentacles at its free end. When the bud is grown fully it constricts at the base and finally separates from the parent body.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
