Question

(b)What is yeast? Describe the process of reproduction in yeast with the help of labelled diagrams.

Answer 1

• Yeast is a tiny, unicellular ,non-green plant (which is a fungus).
• The process of reproduction in yeast is budding
• During budding, a bud first appears on the cell wall of the yeast cell.
• The nucleus then divides and one part moves into the bud.
• The bud then grows and matures and ultimately detaches from the parent cell to form a new yeast cell.
• Mostly, the buds form a chain as the process of budding happens rapidly.
