Which of the following organisms reproduces by budding?
Earthworm
Hydra
Frog
Cockroach
Hydra
Hydra is a simple multicellular freshwater organism that reproduces asexually through a process called budding. In budding, a small outgrowth or bud develops on the parent body due to repeated cell division at one specific site, which eventually grows and detaches to live as an independent organism.
Hydra is a simple multicellular freshwater organism that reproduces asexually through a process called budding. In budding, a small outgrowth or bud develops on the parent body due to repeated cell division at one specific site, which eventually grows and detaches to live as an independent organism.
Think of budding like a tree branch growing a small side-shoot that eventually develops its own roots, breaks off, and grows into a separate tree.
Remember 'H for Hydra, H for Herb or Home budding' тАФ Hydra and yeast are classic examples of budding.
Asexual┬аReproduction\rightarrow Mitotic┬аcell┬аdivision┬аin┬аparent┬аbody
During budding in Hydra, regenerative cells undergo mitotic division to form a small bud-like protuberance on the body wall. This bud gradually receives nutrition from the parent, develops tentacles and a mouth, and finally pinches off from the parent organism to become a new, independent Hydra.
Hydra reproduces asexually by budding.
Earthworm reproduces sexually (hermaphrodite organism).
Frogs reproduce sexually via external fertilization.
Cockroaches reproduce sexually through internal fertilization and laying eggs.
Allows rapid multiplication in favorable environmental conditions.
Only a single parent is required.
Produces genetically identical offspring, reducing genetic diversity.
Vulnerable to sudden environmental changes.
Study of regeneration and asexual reproduction in lower invertebrates.
Aquatic biological research.
Yeast is another well-known eukaryotic organism that reproduces by budding.
Earthworm reproduces sexually and is known as a farmer's friend.
Option B (Hydra) is the correct answer.
B is correct тАФ Hydra is a freshwater organism that reproduces asexually by budding.
Remember that simple organisms like Hydra and Yeast reproduce by budding, whereas complex animals reproduce sexually.
