Answer:

a. In hydra

In hydra reproduction occurs by budding.

b. In amoeba

In amoeba reproduction occurs by binary

fission.

Answer 2

(a) Budding - Hydra

(b) Binary fission - Amoeba

Explanation:

(a) Budding - Hydra

When food is plentiful, many Hydra reproduce asexually by producing buds in the body wall, which grow to be miniature adults and break away when they are mature. When a hydra is well fed, a new bud can form every two days. This process is called budding.

(b) Binary fission - Amoeba

Amoeba reproduces asexually by binary fission. The parent cell splits into two to form two new daughter cells. The process first begins in the nucleus where it splits to form two nuclei. Then the cytoplasm begins to divide and gradually the two daughter cells separate completely.
