A tiny animal having tentacles which reproduces by growing buds on the sides of its body is:(a) Planaria      (b) Yeast      (c) Amoeba      (d) Hydra

Correct Answer: (d) Hydra

Explanation:

Hydra is a tiny animal with tentacles. It has a small outgrowth called bud on one side of its body by repetitive mitotic division. This bud gradually grows into a full hydra, developing its mouth and tentacles. The new Hydra detaches itself from its parent and starts living as a separate organism.

Yeast, Planaria and Amoeba do not possess tentacles on their body.
