‘Budding’ is a mode of asexual reproduction seen in which of the following organisms?

‘Budding’ is a mode of asexual reproduction seen in which of the following organisms? Correct Answer Hydra

Concept:
  • Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which new offsprings are produced by a single parent without the involvement of gametes or fertilization.
  • Offspring produced by such reproduction are genetically identical copies of the parents.
  • Asexual reproduction is of the following types:
  •  Binary fission
  •  Budding
  •  Fragmentation
  •  Gemma-cup formation
  •  Spore formation
  •  Vegetative propagation.

Explanation:

  • Hydra reproduces both by asexual and sexual methods. Asexual reproduction takes place either by budding or regeneration. 

Budding in Hydra:

  • In Hydra, a bud develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell division at one specific site. 
  • These buds develop into tiny individuals and when fully mature, detach from the parent body and become new independent individuals.Important Points

    • Hydra can reproduce asexually by both buddings as well as regeneration.  

    Additional Information

    Regeneration in Planaria:

    • Planaria can be cut into any number of pieces and each piece grows into a complete organism. This is known as regeneration.
    • Regeneration is carried out by specialised cells. These cells proliferate and make large numbers of cells. From this mass of cells, different cells undergo changes to become various cell types and tissues.

    Binary fission in amoeba:

    • It is asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies.
    • Under this, an organism duplicates its genetic material, and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA.

    Fission in starfish:

    • Starfish also reproduce asexually by fission. In fission, the central disc breaks into two pieces and each portion then regenerates the missing parts.
