    Which of the following animal can successfully reproduce without utilizing the process of mitosis?

    A)  Amoeba       

    B)  Hydra

    C)  Tapeworm     

    D)  Sycon

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Asexual reproduction in sycon (Scypha) is accomplished by budding. An outgrowth from the cylinder of sponge arises near its base or attached end to form a bude. An osculum is broken off at its free end. The bud forms a new sponge by fixing itself to the substratum. In Hydra asexual reproduction by budding takes place only during summer. The reproduction in Amoeba is essentially asexual and takes place by binary fission, multiple fission and sporulation. Binary fission involves normal mitotic division. Tapeworm (Taenea solium) reproduce sexually.
