Question

Hydra budding, bacteria dividing, humans, potato tubers, most fish, strawberry
runners, creates genetically identical offspring, creates genetic variation, faster
reproduction, requires two parents, one parent needed, meiosis
out of those organisms which are sexual and asexual

Answer 1

Answer in two parts — (A) which of the listed examples reproduce asexually vs sexually, and (B) which traits belong to sexual vs asexual reproduction.

A. Classification of the examples
- Hydra (budding): asexual (budding). Note: many hydra can also reproduce sexually under some conditions, but "budding" is asexual.
- Bacteria (dividing): asexual (binary fission). (Bacteria do not undergo meiosis.)
- Humans: sexual.
- Potato tubers: asexual (vegetative propagation via tubers). (Potatoes can also produce seeds sexually, but tubers are asexual.)
- Most fish: sexual (most fish reproduce sexually; a few species can reproduce by parthenogenesis).
- Strawberry runners: asexual (stolons produce genetically identical daughter plants).

B. Traits — which belong to sexual vs asexual reproduction
- Creates genetically identical offspring: asexual (cloning) — e.g., hydra budding, bacteria, potato tubers, strawberry runners.
- Creates genetic variation: sexual — e.g., humans, most fish (also some hydra when they reproduce sexually).
- Faster reproduction: generally asexual (binary fission, budding, runners often produce offspring faster than sexual cycles).
- Requires two parents: sexual (usually requires fusion of gametes from two parents).
- One parent needed: asexual (single organism produces offspring).
- Meiosis: sexual reproduction (meiosis produces gametes in sexually reproducing organisms). Note: bacteria do not do meiosis.

If you want, I can make a simple table matching each organism to the traits it shows.
