Question

The division of cell in yeast during budding shows

• A. Mitosis
• B. Meiosis
• C. Both mitosis and meiosis
• D. No cell division

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Mitosis

The correct option is A.

Explanation of the correct option:

1. There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis.
2. The mitosis is called equational division, which means that it helps in increasing the number of cells.
3. The daughter cells generated by mitosis are identical to each other and the parent cell.
4. Yeast asexually reproduces by budding, a type of mitotic cell division.

Explanation of the incorrect options:

Option B:

1. Meiosis is called the reductional division.
2. The daughter cells have half the genetic material as the parent cell. Thus, they are non-identical to the parent cells.
3. Daughter cells of the yeast resemble their parent cell.

Option C:

Budding is a type of mitotic cell division.

Option D:

The budding is the type of asexual reproduction that means cell division occurs.

The division of cells in yeast during budding shows mitosis.
