Question

what is binary fission and budding represent with an example

Answer 1

binary fission is an asexual mode of reproduction which is carried out by the single-celled microorganism AMOEBA. in the binary fission, the nucleous of the Amoeba rapidly divids into two nuclei and after the dibision of the cytoplasm, the two daughter cells are formed.

budding is also a type of asexual mode of reproduction which is carried out by yeast and hydra. A small bulb like projection is formed on their body and it (bud) gradually develops into an independent individual.

Answer 2

Binary Fission- Some unicellular animals like Amoeba and paramecium reproduce asexually by binary fission. The process involves division of the parent cell into two similar daughter cells. The process begins by the elongation of the nucleus as well as the cell. The nucleus keeps elongating and finally gets pinched off in the centre to produce two daughter nuclei. Once this has happened,the cell further elongates and eventually gets pinched off in the centre to ultimately form two daughter cells.

Budding- Hydra reproduces asexually by producing buds. This is called budding. A bud is a small protuberance or a bulge that appears on the body of the animal by repeated division cells and begins to look like the adult or the parent hydra. When the young animal is fully formed , it detaches itself from the parent and begins its life as an independent animal as it involves only one parent. Yeast also reproduces by budding.
