Yeast and Hydra reproduce asexually by: a. binary fission b. budding c. fragmentation d. spore formation
Options
A binary fission
B budding
Correct Answer
C fragmentation
D spore formation
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Both yeast (a fungus) and Hydra (an animal) commonly reproduce asexually by budding. In this process, a small outgrowth (bud) forms on the parent organism, grows, and eventually detaches to become a new, independent individual.

Hint

A small 'bud' grows on the parent and breaks off.
