3. Yeast can reproduce by budding while onion cell doesn't reproduce by budding.

Explanation:

Yeast are eukaryotic single-celled organisms. They belong to the kingdom fungi. Onion belongs to the kingdom plantae.

Budding is a form of asexual reproduction. In this method a bud develops in the parent body and upon maturation it detaches from the parent body to grow into an individual organism. Onion reproduces by vegetative reproduction in which vegetative parts of plant are used develop into new offspring.

3. Yeast can reproduce by budding. Onion cells do not reproduce by budding.

Explanation:

Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which yeast cells multiply to yield new cells. Onion cells do not use budding as a means of reproduction but use vegetative propagation. Vegetative propagation is a means of asexual reproduction in which plant parts such as bulbs in onions are planted to give rise to new plants. Sexual reproduction is the other type of production in which organisms divide through the fusion of male and female gametes.
