Question

A hydra is an aquatic organism that lives in fresh water. During reproduction an outgrowth begins to form on the parent. The outgrowth continues to develop into the daughter organism and eventually breaks off of the parent. Which type of reproduction does this represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

grow or regenerate into separate individuals. Lizards cast off their tails to escape predators & then regenerate them . ... Hydra reproduces by budding using the regenerative cells. A bud develops as an outgrowth in Hydra due to repeated cell division at one specific site.

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 .
