yeast cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria, yeast, corals, flatworms, jellyfish, and sea anemones are several animal species which reproduce through budding.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both haploid and diploid yeast cells can reproduce asexually by budding, in which a small bud emerges from the mother cell, enlarges until reaching a certain size, and then separates from the mother cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -(a) Budding: This method is used by unicellular plants, like yeast. Yeast is a fungus and fungi are also known as non-green plants. The yeast cell produces a bud which gets its own nucleus. The bud develops to certain size and detaches from the mother cell to produce the new yeast.

Detailed explanation-4: -Budding in yeast: Budding is a type of asexual reproduction seen in yeast, hydra etc. It is the process of development of a smaller bud from an adult organism directly without involvement of any gametes. A soft zone appears in the cell wall of vegetative cells. Small buds will bulge out from this zone.
