Question

What is budding? Explain the budding in Hydra by the help of diagram.

Answer 1

• Budding is the asexual mode of reproduction. In budding, a genetically identical new organism grows attached to the body of parent Hydra and separates later on.
• In the process of budding, a bud develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell division at one specific site. This bud grows randomly and there is no specific order or direction they follow.
