00:00What is budding?

00:02Budding is a type of asexual reproduction where a new organism grows from the body of its parent.

00:08This new organism is called a bud.

00:10It forms as a small outgrowth, then grows bigger and eventually separates from the parent to live on its own.

00:17Sometimes the bud stays attached and a colony is formed.

00:22Budding is common in simple animals like hydra, sponges and some flatworms.

00:27It also happens in some fungi like yeast and even in plants such as the bryophyll implant.

00:33In yeast, the new cell grows as a small bump on the parent cell, gets bigger and breaks off when it is ready.

00:40In animals like hydra, the bud grows on the parent's body, develops tentacles and a mouth and becomes a mini hydra.

00:48Once it matures, it detaches and becomes an independent animal.

00:53This process happens without the involvement of male or female cells, which means it doesn't need two parents.

01:01Budding is a quick and easy way for living things to make copies of themselves.

01:05All offspring created by budding are exact copies of the parent because there is no mixing of genes like in sexual reproduction.

01:13Although budding helps increase the number of organisms quickly, it also has a drawback.

01:19Since all offspring are the same as the parent, there is little genetic diversity.

01:24This can be a problem if the environment changes, as all the organisms will react in the same way, possibly dying if they can't adapt.

01:32So, budding is a simple, fast and effective way for some living things to reproduce.

01:38It helps them grow in number and form colonies, especially in stable environments where conditions do not change much.

01:46Nothing changes much.
