We were talking about the cell…
The prokaryotes undergo a type of
asexual reproduction called: binary
fission.
Type of reproduction in which a
new organism is produced from
ONE parent and the offspring is
identical to the parent.
Could you add some titles or
descriptions?

Archaea, bacteria,
and protists reproduce asexually by
binary fission.
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.
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.
A single adult can have many buds
and many offspring at the same time.
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.
So let´s see..if it´s clear!!
• It then falls off and
germinates into a
new individual.
Thus budding
results in the
formation of
daughter cells of
unequal sizes that
later grow to adult
size.
