Given figure of Hydra shows its reproductive structures and manner of fertilisation. Observe and answer that why is it not showing self fertilisation ? A. Distance between testis and ovary is more.B. Sperms do not swim downwards.C. Ovary matures earlier than testis.D. Testis matures earlier than ovary.

Answer» Correct Answer - d
Cross fertilisation occurs in Hydra. The testic matures earlier than ovary. The spermotozoa released from the testic of one Hydra swim I water with their tails and finally come into contact with the ovum of another Hydra. Ovum lives only for a short time after it is exposed. During this period fertilisatiion must take place. Thus given figure is not showing self-fertilisation but cross fertilisation.
