Question

Write a short note on budding in Hydra?

Answer 1

Budding:

1. Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new individual is formed from a bud that protrudes out from the body of the parents.

Budding in Hydra:

1. Budding in Hydra involves a small bud that is developed from its parent through the repeated mitotic division of its cells.
2. The small bud then receives its nutrition from the parent and increases in size.
3. Growth starts by developing small tentacles and the mouth.
4. Finally, the small newly produced Hydra gets separated from its parent to become an independent organism when a constriction appears at the base.
