prototype Scopes a single bean definition to any number of object instances.

request Sc

Answer 1

Prototype scope creates a new instance every time getBean method is invoked on the ApplicationContext. Whereas for request scope, only one instance is created for an HttpRequest.

So in an HttpRequest, if the getBean method is called twice on Application and there will be only one bean instantiated and reused, whereas the bean scoped to Prototype in that same single HttpRequest would get 2 different instances.
