Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Budding and fission are both asexual forms of reproduction. However, budding produces a smaller daughter cell (bud) that eventually separates from the parent cell, while fission produces two relatively equal daughter cells. In budding, the division is asymmetrical, meaning one daughter cell is smaller than the other.
