How is is internal budding different from normal budding?
Answers
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.
Internal budding or endodyogeny is a process of asexual reproduction, favoured by parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii. It involves an unusual process in which two daughter cells are produced inside a mother cell, which is then consumed by the offspring prior to their separation.
EXPLANATION:
Internal budding and normal budding are two processes of asexual reproduction. Normal budding also known as external budding is the process where regenerative cells are used for reproduction.
The new progeny form as an external bud attached to the parent and fall off upon maturity and develops as an independent organism. It is observed in Hydra. Internal budding is the process where cells or buds are developed inside the parent and differs from external budding mainly in its location in the parent and its time of development.
These internal buds are usually protected by a layer that can withstand harsh conditions. Under conditions where the parents may not survive these buds can grow upon arrival of favourable conditions. Internal budding is found among protozoans.
