Answer 1

Hint: Some organisms that belong to phylum Coelenterata, Phylum Platyhelminthes, and kingdom Fungi use budding as a process of asexual reproduction and develop new similar organisms through an outgrowth or bud in the parent cell or organism.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Budding is a type of asexual reproduction where the new organisms develop from an outgrowth or bud in the parent organism and occur in some fungi like yeast, some coelenterates like a hydra, and flatworms. In yeast, a small bulb-like projection comes out from the parent cell, and later it separates and becomes a new organism after a period of growth. The daughter cells that are produced as a result of budding are generally smaller than the parent cell. As the budding is a type of asexual reproduction, it occurs in yeast only in favorable conditions. A diagram showing the process of budding in yeast has been given below –

Additional Information: In hydra, some regenerative cells form a bud due to repeated cell division at one specific site. These buds develop into small individuals and get detached from the body of the parent organism after attaining maturity. Similar to yeast, hydra also reproduces by budding only in favorable conditions. A diagram representing the budding in hydra has been given below
          

Note: Amoeba is a unicellular organism and thus it reproduces through the process of binary fission just like the other unicellular bacteria. Here, the genetic material is replicated through mitosis and then the parent cell divides into two equal-sized daughter cells. The reproduction in amoeba takes place approximately every two days.
