Question

How is budding(e.g. yeast) different from reproduction in mammals?

Answer 1

The details are different in many ways. But the big difference is that mammals reproduce sexually and yeasts reproduce asexually.

In sexual reproduction, the genetic makeup of the offspring is half that of each parent. In asexual reproduction the offspring is genetically the same as the parent.

Sexual reproduction has considerable evolutionary advantage, since it offers the natural selection process much more variety to work on.

Answer 2

When a yeast buds, the "baby" forms on the body of the parent and grows until it becomes large enough to be independent. And then, the "baby" yeast separates from its parent yeast.

Since the reproduction is asexual in nature, the genetic structure of the "baby" is identical to that of the parent.

Reproduction in mammals is sexual in nature. Half of the genetic material comes from the mother, and half from the father, creating an individual that is, though similar, totally different from the mother and the father.
