Question

Fertilisation is necessary even in asexual reproduction.

Options

• True

• False

Answer 1

This statement is False.

Explanation:

In each hydra, there may be one or more bulges. These bulges are the developing new individuals, and they are called buds. Recall the presence of buds in yeast. In Hydra, new individuals develop as outgrowths of a single parent. This type of reproduction in which only a single parent is involved is called asexual reproduction.
