How Do Organisms Reproduce?

Question:

With the help of suitable diagrams, explain the various steps of budding in Hydra.

Answer:

 

  • 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.
  •  When fully matures, the bud detaches itself from the parent body and develops into new indipendent individuals
