Hydra are marine organisms that reproduce by the offspring, simply, growing out of the parent organism. the parent organism does not require a mate, and therefore, genetic variation is reduced. which choice best describes this form of reproduction

Asexual reproduction (budding)

Explanation:

Asexual reproduction is a form of reproduction that does not require sexual relation. A sexually reproducing organism makes a copy of itself without swapping any genetic information with a mate.

There are different types of asexual reproduction:

In hydra, the offspring starts as a young bud on the parent before eventually getting detached to become a new independent organism.

organisms that lack symmetry are called asymmetrical and belong to phylum porifera/sponges.

organisms with specialized stinging cells belong to phylum cnidaria. stinging cells are called cnidoblast cells.

cnidarians show two morphological forms : polyp (sessile) and medusa (mobile)

filter feeding is observed in porifera members.  

alternation of generation is observed in coelenterata or cnidaria. there is alternation of asexual polyp form and sexual medusoid form. it is also referred as metagenesis.
