Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During budding, what is usually formed?
A
A bud from the daughter cell
B
New DNA from the parent cell
C
An outgrowth from the parent organism
D
New stems and roots
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Budding is an asexual mode of producing 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The initial protuberance of proliferating cytoplasm or cells, the bud, eventually develops into an organism duplicating the parent. The new individual may separate to exist independently, or the buds may remain attached, forming aggregates or colonies.

Detailed explanation-3: -An outgrowth from the parent’s body, that occurs as a part of asexual reproduction is known as a bud.

Detailed explanation-4: -Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which a new organism develops from an outgrowth or bud due to cell division and an example of an organism which reproduces through budding is Hydra.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is an asexual method of reproduction of producing a new organism through a regenerative bud. A bud is a small external outgrowth that is produced after repeated mitotic divisions. The bud is found on the outer side of the body of an individual that grows and detaches to mature into a separate individual.
