Difference between Spore formation and Budding
No. |
Spore formation |
Budding |
1. | In the spore formation, spores are always unicellular. | In the budding process, buds are both unicellular and multicellular. |
2. | In the spore formation, spores do not have thick walls. | In the budding process, spores have thick walls. |
3. | In the spore formation process, unequal cytokinesis or cell division does not takes place. | In the budding process, unequal cytokinesis takes place. |
4. | Spore formation process is seen in ferns, mosses, bacteria, mushrooms and moulds etc. | Budding process is seen in amoebae, yeast, small multicellular organisms, sea anemones, flatworms and hydra etc. |
5. | In the spore formation, formation of spore takes place inside the sporangium. | In the budding, formation of spore does not takes place. |
6. | In harsh environmental conditions, they have hard protective coats and are resistant. | In harsh environmental conditions, buds are less resistant |
7. | In the spore formation, production of large number of spores at a time takes place. | In the budding process production of bud included one or more buds at a time. |
