-
A.
Cell divisions at one site
-
B.
Formation of spore
-
C.
Splitting of cytoplasm
-
D.
Splitting of nucleus
Correct Answer:
A. Cell divisions at one site
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option A: Cell divisions at one site.
Budding in Hydra is a form of asexual reproduction where a new organism grows from a specific point on the parent's body due to localized cell division. This repeated mitotic activity results in a small protrusion called a bud. Over time, the bud develops into a tiny individual with its own mouth and tentacles. Once it reaches maturity, the offspring detaches from the parent body to exist as a separate, independent organism. This method is biologically different from spore formation or the division of the cytoplasm and nucleus seen in other reproductive processes.
