The <em>Hydra </em>offspring will also have 30 chromosome.
Explanation:
- Budding is a method of asexual reproduction.
- Asexual reproduction takes place through mitosis where diploid cells divide to give rise to identical cells with same chromosome number.
- Hydra reproduces through budding thus, if the parent hydra has 30 chromosome then the offspring will also have 30 chromosome.

Answer:
Two heterozygous parents have a <u>50%</u> chance of contributing one of their alleles to each offspring.
Explanation:
Individuals who are heterozygous for a specific trait have two different alleles in the gene that determines that trait. This characteristic makes their chances of contributing each of their alleles to the offspring 50%.
The alleles of a gene are distributed in the gametes by the process of meiosis, which results in daughter cells with half the genetic charge, so each gamete can only have one copy of the allelic pair of a gene.
On the other hand, if an individual has two equal alleles for a characteristic in a gene, he has a 100% chance of passing that allele on to his descendants.
Generally speaking, enzymes (which amylase happens to be) do not undergo any permanent structural change while carrying out their function. Some do exhibit transient conformational change during a reaction, but upon completion regain their original form.
So your initial assumption is correct: once amylase has finished catalyzing the breakdown of starch into less complex sugar molecules, it moves on and repeats the process over and over.
