Budding – Asexual Reproduction
What is Budding? Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where a new organism grows out of the body of the parent organism. [Hydra Budding Video] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= a5oHMjGqjyo
How Does Budding Work? 1. A small growth (bud) forms on the parent. 2. The bud receives nutrients from the parent. 3. It grows and eventually detaches to become independent.
Example Organisms That Use Budding - Hydra (animal) - Yeast (fungus) - Corals (marine invertebrates) [Yeast Budding Video]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= oH3u51xyU H c [Hydra Animation]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5oHMjGqjy o
Fun Analogy Using Our Life Science Teachers In first year, we were taught by Dr P. One day, a mini version of her starts growing while teaching—just as smart and strict with deadlines! The mini Dr P grows, detaches, and joins us as Dr Williamson in second year! That’s budding—no mating, just copying and growing a new version off the parent.
Why is Budding Important? - Quick reproduction - No need for a mate - Offspring are genetically identical to parent
Quick Comparison Budding vs. Fission: | Feature | Budding | Fission | |----------------|---------|---------| | Parent remains | Yes | No | | Outgrowth? | Yes | No | | Example | Hydra | Amoeba |
Let’s Test You! - What’s one key feature that makes budding different from binary fission? - Can you think of a benefit AND a risk of budding? - If you could bud off a clone of yourself, what would you make it do?
Thank You! Summary: Budding is a fast, simple way to reproduce.
