As we have learnt in:

Budding & Its Types -

  • In this type of asexual reproduction, the parent organism divides itself into two unequal parts. 
  • The daughter organism is formed through a small part called a bud.
  • Budding can occur in both unicellular and multicellular organisms.
  • It begins by developing a small bud (outgrowth) of a side of the parent organism. 
  • The bud may develop from any part of the organism, but in most cases, there are special areas on the parent organisms that promote bud development. 
  • Then the bud breaks off as a completely new organism. 
  • Organisms such as yeast (unicellular organism), hydra (multicellular organism, sponges and some worms (flatworm) reproduce in this way. 
  • The two new organisms will have identical DNA.

-Budding is a type of asexual reproduction, hence the offsprings produced are genetically identical to the parents.
