Question

Which type of reproduction is most common in hydra?

• A. Budding
• B. Cracking
• C. Sexual reproduction
• D. Gametogenesis

Answer 1

The correct option is A Budding

Organisms such as Hydra use regenerative cells for reproduction in the process of budding. In Hydra, a bud develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell division at one specific site.
In Hydra, budding occurs as:

• A bud begins to form on the tubular body of an adult Hydra.
• The bud develops a mouth and tentacles
  
• The bud detaches from its parent
• The new Hydra is fully developed and will find its own location for attachment.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A), 'Budding'.
