Question

Hydra shows regeneration and budding. True or false?

Answer 1

Answer:

Organisms such as hydra use regenerative cells for reproduction in the process of budding. 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

true

Regeneration in Hydra is polarized and does not depend on growth. When cut in two, the lower piece will develop a head & the upper will develop a foot. A piece excised from the Hydra body will regenerate both a head and a basal disc in the same polarity.
