Question Detail
Question
Both asexual budding in Hydra and development of an adult human from a zygote involve: a. alternation of generation b. cleavage c. meiosis d. mitosis
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Both processes involve mitotic cell divisions. In Hydra budding, mitosis produces the cells for the new individual. In human development from a zygote, mitosis is responsible for all growth and cell replacement. Cleavage is a specific type of rapid mitosis in early embryos, but mitosis is the common, underlying process.
Hint
It's the type of cell division used for growth and producing identical cells.
