Why hydra use budding in reproduction

Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division at one particular site. The small bulb like projection coming out from the yeast cell is called a bud. The new organism remains attached as it grows, separating from the parent organism only when it is mature, leaving behind scar tissue. Since the reproduction is asexual, the newly created organism is a clone and is genetically identical to the parent organism.

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.

Internal budding or endodyogeny is a process of asexual reproduction, favoured by parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii. It involves an unusual process in which two daughter cells are produced inside a mother cell, which is then consumed by the offspring prior to their separation.[1]

Endopolygeny is the division into several organisms at once by internal budding.[1]

Hydra reproduces by asexual and sexual methods. Asexual reproduction takes place either by budding or by fission. Budding appears to be the normal method of reproduction in Hydra and occurs at all times of the year. A bud is usually formed in the middle of the body by rapid multiplication of inter­stitial cells.

These are soon converted into other necessary cell- types, thus producing a bulging of the body wall into which the coelenteron extends. The bud elongates and develops a circlet of tentacles at its free end in the midst of which a mouth is perforated.

A fully formed bud breaks away from the parent by constricting its base. Then attaching itself to a new substratum it starts an independent life. More than one bud may form simultaneously upon the same parent.

Occasionally a Hydra will reproduce asexually by fission. The animal splits, either -transversely or longitudinally, into two halves. Each half grows the wanting parts, through the activity of the interstitial cells. Sexual reproduction occurs ordinarily in autumn.
