Question

Which one of the following statements is true or yeast?
(a) The cell divides by binary fission. One of them develops into a bud.
(b) The cell divides unequally. The smaller cell develops into a bud.
(c) The cell produces conidia which develop into a bud.

Answer 1

Explanation:

(a) The cell divides by binary fission. One of them develops into a bud.

Answer 2

The correct statement about Yeast is The cell divides by binary fission. One of them develops into a bud.

• Yeast reproduce asexually by both binary fission and budding.
• In budding, bud begins to form from parent cell > Nucleus copies are formed and it divides > Bud receives a copy > bud now becomes separate daughter cells > budding produces chain of cells.
• In Binary fission, cell replicates its DNA > cytoplasmic membrane elongates > separation of DNA occurs > membrane invaginates > cross wall forms completely > 2 Daughter cell forms.
