  2. Budding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budding

    In hydra, a bud develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell division at one specific site. These buds develop into tiny individuals and, when fully mature, detach from the parent body and become new independent individuals. Internal budding or endodyogeny is a process of asexual reproduction, favored by parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii. It ...

  3. Asexual reproduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction

    Budding is also known on a multicellular level; an animal example is the hydra, [10] which reproduces by budding. The buds grow into fully matured individuals which eventually break away from the parent organism. Internal budding is a process of asexual reproduction, favoured by parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii.

  4. Hydra vulgaris - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_vulgaris

    Hydra oligactis. This species can reproduce in three ways: sexual reproduction, budding, and indirectly through regeneration. [11] When hydra reproduce sexually, simple testes, ovaries, or both will develop on the bodies of an individual. Sperm released into the environment by the testes enters the egg within the ovary.

  5. Hydra (genus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_(genus)

    Hydra (/ ˈ h aɪ d r ə / HY-drə) is a genus of small freshwater hydrozoans of the phylum Cnidaria.They are native to the temperate and tropical regions. [2] [3] The genus was named by Linnaeus in 1758 after the Hydra, which was the many-headed beast of myth defeated by Heracles, as when the animal has a part severed, it will regenerate much like the mythical hydra's heads.

  6. Sessility (motility) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessility_(motility)

    Many sessile animals, including sponges, corals and hydra, are capable of asexual reproduction in situ by the process of budding.Sessile organisms such as barnacles and tunicates need some mechanism to move their young into new territory.

  7. Regeneration (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_(biology)

    Regeneration is different from reproduction. For example, hydra perform regeneration but reproduce by the method of budding. The regenerative process occurs in two multi-step phases: the preparation phase and the redevelopment phase. [10] [11] Regeneration begins with an amputation which triggers the first phase.

  8. Somatic mutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_mutation

    For instance, animals in the cnidarian genus Hydra can reproduce asexually through the mechanism of budding (they can also reproduce sexually). In hydra, a new bud develops directly from somatic cells of the parent hydra. [10] A mutation present in the tissue that gives rise to the daughter organism would be passed down to that offspring.

  9. Agricultural cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_cycle

    The fundamental factor in the process of seeding is dependent on the properties of both seed and the soil it is being planted in. The prior step associated with seeding is crop selection, which mainly consists of two techniques: sexual and asexual. Asexual technique includes all forms of the vegetative process such as budding, grafting and ...
