Question

Hydra reproduces asexually by binary fission.
Options
A True
B False
Correct Answer
C
D
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

This statement is false. Hydra typically reproduces asexually by budding, not binary fission. A small outgrowth (bud) forms on the parent hydra, grows, and eventually detaches to become a new individual. Binary fission is common in bacteria and protozoans like Amoeba.

Hint

Do Hydra split into two equal halves (fission) or grow a small outgrowth (budding)?
