According to paleontologists, Funisia dorothea (a tubular organism found fossilized in Australia) reproduced in what way (or ways). a. Asexually by budding b. Sexually c. Both a. and b. d. None of the above

Option C

Explanation:

As per the paleontologists, the anchored tubular structures of fossilized Funisia dorothea showed dense clusters which are believed to be formed by mating of floating egg and sperms in the water. Also traces have been found that states asexual mode of reproduction through budding where buds were formed in the same way as that of coral, sponges etc and then these buds grew into full sized Funisia dorothea. Thus, the fossil species have the complex ability to produce both sexually and asexually.
