How is sporulation different from budding?
Budding:
Asexual reproduction known as budding occurs when a bud or protrusion from the parent organism's side or end appears and grows into a new organism.
Sporulation:
The term "spore formation" refers to the process of spore reproduction.
Budding | Sporulation |
1. Asexual reproduction known as budding occurs when an emerging bud or protrusion from the side or end of the parent organism transforms into a new organism. | 1. The process of spore formation involves spore reproduction. A spore is a tiny, frequently single-celled reproductive body with great heat and desiccation resistance that can develop into a new organism. |
2. In addition to plants, hydra and fungi exhibit this. | 2. Particular bacteria, fungus, algae, and nonflowering plants are known to synthesize it. |
3. The protrusion typically remains joined to the main organism for some time before breaking loose. | 3. Spores are asexual reproduction's intermediaries. Rhizopus serves as a good illustration of spore production. |
4. Natural genetic equivalence between the new organism and the parent exists. | 4. The spores that can eventually grow into new Rhizopus individuals are found in the sporangia Rhizopus hyphae generate. |
