Answer 2

Answer:

A yeast is placed in fungi when it is unicellular because it shows the characteristics of fungi and is also a eukaryotic organism. Species of yeast are placed under the phylum Ascomycota and few come under the phylum Basidiomycota of Kingdom Fungi.

Explanation:

• Some species of fungi can show multicellular characteristics by forming false hyphae (pseudohyphae), False Hyphae are the strings of connected budding cells.

• Cell wall of both the yeast and fungi is made up of chitin.

• Both yeasts and fungi show saprotrophic nutrition. They secrets enzymes on decaying organic matter.
• Both have haploid nuclei. Also, yeast cannot be placed in Protista because they have diploid nuclei.
• Yeast reproduces through both asexual and sexual reproduction. In its process of sexual reproduction, yeast produces Ascospores like Fungi.
