Question

Does yeast reproduce by spore formation?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. By spore production, yeast does not reproduce asexually.
2. Yeast is a single-celled organism that reproduces mostly by budding.
3. In yeast, asexual reproduction occurs through budding; however, certain yeast species also reproduce through binary fission.
4. A bud is a tiny protrusion from the parent cell that pinches off and produces a new individual when it reaches maturity.
5. Ascospores are formed when yeast reproduces sexually.
6. The union of two cells results in the development of a conjugation tube.
7. The diploid yeast cell undergoes sporulation under high-stress conditions.
8. It divides by meiosis, resulting in a variety of haploid spores that, when conjugated, produce diploid cells.
