Type of reproduction in which a new organism is produced from ONE parent and the offspring is
identical to the parent.
Another type of asexual reproduction is called budding.
Budding is when a new organism, or the offspring, grows off the side of the
adult through a part called a bud.
BUDDING
The new baby will stay attached to the original adult until it reaches
maturity at which point they break off and become its own independent organism.
Both unicellular organisms, like yeast, and multicellular organisms, like hydra,
can undergo budding. Again, the offspring are clones of the parent unless some sort of mutation happens during
the copying of the DNA or cell reproduction.
Budding is characteristic of a few unicellular organisms (e.g., certain bacteria, yeasts, and protozoans); however, a number of metazoan animals (e.g., certain cnidarian
species) regularly reproduce by budding
So let´s see..if it´s clear!!
• The parent cell or body gives out a lateral outgrowth called the bud.
So let´s see..if it´s clear!!
• The nucleus divides and one of the daughter nuclei passes into the daughter cell.
So let´s see..if it´s clear!!
• The bud grows in size while being attached to the parent body. It then gets separated from the parent by the formation of a wall.
