Q. What is Budding?

Solution :

Definition :

“Budding is an asexual reproduction in which a new organism is formed from a bud of a parent organism. The new organism (bud ) remains attached to the parent organism till maturity”

Organisms like Hydra and yeast reproduce by budding.

Process of Budding in Hydra

Organisms such as Hydra use regenerative cells for reproduction in the process of budding.

In Hydra, a bud develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell division at one specific site.

These buds develop into tiny individuals and when fully mature, detach from the parent body and become new independent individuals.
