11. Explain the asexual reproduction in yeast with a supportive diagram. Give example of
species that reproduce the same way
Answers
Answer:
Budding
Explanation:
Yeasts reproduce asexually either by fission or by budding. Depending on this character they are grouped as fission yeasts, Schizosaccharomyces and budding yeasts, Zygosaccharomyces.
During reproduction of fission yeasts the parent cell elongates, the nucleus divides into two daughter nuclei, and gradually a transverse partition wall is laid down somewhat near the middle starting from periphery to the center dividing the mother cell into two daughter cells.
Asexual reproduction : The production of offsprings by a single parent without the formation and fusion of gametes. The offsprings receive all of their genes from the parents so are identical with each other and are called clones.
Budding in Yeast : Formation of a daughter individual from a small projection, the bud, arising on the parent body.
Yeast reproduces sexually by the means of ascospores. Refer to the second attachment for the diagram.
Example of the species that reproduce the same way are : Hydra, Scypha, etc.
