Here's how it works:
* Parent organism: The original organism develops a bud.
* Bud growth: The bud grows and develops, eventually becoming a smaller version of the parent.
* Separation: The bud separates from the parent, becoming an independent organism.
Examples of budding include:
* Yeast: Single-celled organisms reproduce by budding.
* Hydra: Small, freshwater animals reproduce by budding.
* Sponges: Some sponges reproduce asexually through budding.
