A diagram of a parent hydra and its
budding offspring is shown.
The parent hydra has 30
chromosomes. How many
chromosomes will the offspring have?

Respuesta :

The Hydra offspring will also have 30 chromosome.

Explanation:

  • Budding is a method of asexual reproduction.
  • Asexual reproduction takes place through mitosis where diploid cells divide to give rise to identical cells with same chromosome number.
  • Hydra reproduces through budding thus, if the parent hydra has 30 chromosome then the offspring will also have 30 chromosome.
