Question
Explain the process of budding in Hydra.
Solution
Budding in Hydra is an asexual reproduction process where a new Hydra develops as an outgrowth from the parent body.
Process of budding in Hydra:
- Bud Formation: A small bulge appears on the parent hydra due to cell division.
- Growth: The bud enlarges and develops tentacles and a mouth.
- Maturation: The bud grows into a fully developed miniature Hydra.
- Separation: The bud detaches from the parent and lives independently.
The new Hydra is genetically identical to the parent, allowing rapid reproduction in favorable conditions.
