Asexual reproduction

Here is a short clip showing the Hydra - a creature that reproduces asexually by a process called BUDDING.

Here is a short clip of Bacteria  (are they prokaryotes or eukaryotes?) reproducing asexually in a process called BINARY FISSION.

Asexual reproduction is efficient, but there is no variety in the offspring, since they are exact copies of the parent (DNA is the same),  and there is no mixing of the DNA as in sexual reproduction.
