Reproduction in Organisms

Question:

Budding is a type of asexual reproduction .It is a method of reproduction in which of the following animal?

Options:

Plasmodium 

Ferns 

Hydra

Amoeba

Correct Answer:

Hydra

Explanation:

Organisms choose to reproduce asexually by different means. Some of the asexual methods are binary fission (e.g. Amoeba, bacteria), budding (e.g. Hydra), fragmentation (e.g. Planaria), spore formation (e.g. ferns) and vegetative propagation (e.g. Onion).

Budding: Most yeasts reproduce asexually by an asymmetric division process called budding. First, it produces a small protuberance on the parent cell that grows to full size and forms a bud. The nucleus of the parent cell splits into a daughter nucleus and migrates into the daughter cell.
