Solution

The type of reproduction in which only a single parent is involved is called asexual reproduction. There are two types of asexual reproduction: Budding and Binary Fission. In hydra, new individuals develop from small protruding outgrowth. In each hydra, there may be one or more outgrowths. These outgrowths are the developing new individuals and they are called buds. This method of asexual reproduction is called budding. Another method of asexual reproduction is observed in the microscopic organism, amoeba. It begins the process of reproduction by the division of its nucleus into two nuclei. This is followed by the division of its body into two, each part receiving a nucleus. Finally, two amoebae are produced from one parent amoebaAmoeba reproduces by dividing itself into two. This type of asexual reproduction is called binary fission.
