Draw labelled diagrams to show different stages of budding in Hydra.
Budding in Hydra is a form of asexual reproduction. It occurs in the following stages: (1) A small outgrowth called a bud develops on the side of the parent Hydra by repeated mitotic cell division. (2) The bud enlarges and develops a mouth and tentacles at its free end. (3) When fully formed, the young Hydra detaches from the parent body and grows into a new, independent individual. Thus a single parent produces genetically identical offspring.
