Asexual Reproduction
Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single parent, and inherit the genes of that parent only.
Asexual reproduction in amoeba..
Amoeba reproduces by a special mechanism known as binary fission. Meaning of binary fission is spliting into two. New organisms are rapidly produced by mitotic division. We can simply put it as one amoeba divides to become two. Nucleus and Cytoplasm are also divided in two. The division involves nuclear division (karyokinesis) followed by division of cytoplasm (cytokinesis). This takes place during favourable conditions.
Each newly formed amoeba have its own nucleus. Refer to following image for better understanding.
Budding is an asexual mode of reproducing new organisms. In this process, a new organism is developed from a small part of the parent’s body. A bud which is formed detaches to develop into a new organism. The newly developed organism remains attached as it grows further. It is separated from the parent organism when it gets matured by leaving scar tissues behind. As this is an asexual reproduction, the newly developed organism is a replica of the parent and is genetically identical.
For reproduction, Hydra uses regenerative cells where a bud expands as an outgrowth because of repeated cell division at one specific location. These buds then developed into new small individuals which when completely matured, detach from the parent body.
For example- Both hydra and yeast reproduce by the process of Budding.
Budding in Hydra
Hydra is exclusively a freshwater organism having different species. It is very small, just a half centimeter long. It is a cnidarian having a tubular body which is composed of a head, distal end and a foot at the end. Budding in hydra involves a small bud which is developed from its parent hydra through the repeated mitotic division of its cells. The small bud then receives its nutrition from the parent hydra and grows healthy. Growth starts by developing small tentacles and the mouth. Finally, the small newly produced hydra gets separate from its parent hydra and becomes an independent organism.
Budding in yeast
Yeasts are nongreen, eukaryotic, a single-celled fungus which reproduces by the method of budding. During this process of reproduction, a small bud arises as an outgrowth of the parent body. Later the nucleus of the parent yeast is separated into two parts and one of the nuclei shifts into the bud. The newly created bud divides and grows into a new cell.

Types of asexual kind of reproducing is explained below :
1. Binary fission
It is a kind of reproducing asexually which happens in the unicelled organisms where a cell on division gets divided into 2 halves. Each of these then grows into a new organisms.
Such type of process can be seen in Amoeba.
2. Budding
In this method, tiny buds occur in the mother body. This bud when gets matured gets detached and matures into a new individual.
This phenomenon can be seen in Yeast.
