1. Reproduction ensures the continuity of life on Earth by generating new individuals. 2. Hydra reproduces through asexual budding, which is a form of asexual reproduction where new individuals arise from outgrowths of the parent body. 3. Sexual reproduction in organisms generates variation through the formation of new genetic combinations from the fusion of haploid gametes from each parent into a diploid zygote.
