Solution
- Most yeasts reproduce asexually by an asymmetric division process called budding. First, it produces a small protuberance on the parent cell that grows to full size and forms a bud. The nucleus of the parent cell splits into a daughter nucleus and migrates into the daughter cell. The bud detaches from the mother’s body by forming a constriction at the base. Budding will repeat to form a chain of bud cells. The daughter cell produced during the budding process is generally smaller than the mother cell.
- Yeast is a saprophytic fungus.
- It is useful in the commercial sector for the production of bread, alcohol by the process of fermentation.
