Multiple choice

If hydra is cut into two parts, it does not die because _________.

  1. it can form a bud

  2. it can regenerate into two complete organisms

  3. it can produce spores

  4. the two parts are new individuals
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

On being cut, the two parts of hydra can regenerate the other part because it is a simple organism. Bud also helps it in reproduction, but on being cut, regeneration ability plays the role. The two parts cannot be two individuals unless they regenerate. Lastly, hydra does not produce spores as it reproduces by budding.
