What is Budding ??

Explanation

Budding In this process, the parent cell produces one or more protuberances called buds by mitosis. These buds detacH from parent cell and grow into new individuals. Budding may be of two types
(i) Exogenous budding During favourable condition, a bud grows on the parent body externally (on the body surface), which either detaches from parent to lead a free life (e.g. Hydra) or remains attached to parent to form a colony (e.g. Obelia). It is very common in yeast and Hydra.
(ii) Endogenous budding In this process, the bud is formed within the parent.s body. These internal buds are called gemmules. It is formed under unfavourable conditions and very common in freshwater sponge, e.g. Spongilla.
