Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Budding is the process by which a new cell grows as an outgrowth from an existing cell, eventually detaching to become a separate individual. It is not the splitting of one cell into two, nor the splitting into more than two, and it is also not the formation of specialized cells or a result of sexual reproduction.
