Question

Which type of reproduction is found in Hydra?

• A. Polyembryony
• B. Sexual and Asexual both
• C. Parthenogenesis
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Sexual and Asexual both

Hydra reproduce by sexual and asexual mode. Budding is the process by which hydra reproduce through asexual mode. An outgrowth grows from the parent body due to the repeated cell division at a specific site. The cell which divide rapidly are known as regenerative cell. The outgrowth from the parent body is known as bud. This bud separates from the parent and develops into a genetically identical new organism.

During unfavourable conditions, hydra reproduce sexually. Swellings in the body wall develop into either a simple ovary or testes. The testes release sperms which fuses with the ovary.

So, the correct answer is option B.
