Question

Corals are reproduced by
1)asexual reproduction
2)sexual reproduction
3)both

Answer 1

Corals can reproduce by both asexual and sexual reproduction.

1) **Asexual reproduction** occurs through methods such as budding, where new polyps arise from the existing coral, allowing for the expansion of the coral colony.

2) **Sexual reproduction** typically occurs through the release of eggs and sperm into the water, where fertilization happens externally, leading to the development of larvae that can settle and form new reefs.

So, the correct answer is **3) both**.
