Question

A student is observing a permanent slide showing sequentially the different stages of asexual reproduction taking place in yeast. Name this process.

Answer 1

Asexual reproduction can be classified as multiple fission, plasmotomy, budding, sporulation, binary fission, fragmentation, and vegetative propagation.

Complete answer:
Reproduction is characterized as a biological process in which the individual gives birth to the offspring identical to themselves. The offspring develops, matures, and creates new offspring. There is, thus, a sequence of life, rise, and death. Reproduction causes the population to live, generation after generation. The ecosystem of the cell, its internal morphology, and many other variables are generally responsible for how it reproduces. It is of two kinds, depending on whether one or two species engage in the reproductive process. When the offspring is produced by a single parent with or without the presence of a gamete, the reproduction is asexual. When two opposite sex involves in the reproductive process and requires the fusion of female and male gametes, it is known as sexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction only one parent involves. Depending upon the conditions in which organism is reproducing, asexual reproduction have various modes. Asexual reproduction can be classified as multiple fission, plasmotomy, budding, sporulation, binary fission, fragmentation, and vegetative propagation.

Yeast is a microscopic single-cell fungus used for the production by fermentation of bread, beer and wine. A mechanism called budding replicates yeasts asexually. As the nucleus divides, a bud is formed on the external surface of the parent cell. A nucleus migrates to the extended bud. Between the bud and the parent cell, cell wall material forms and the bud break. The student who is observing a permanent slide showing sequentially the different stages of asexual reproduction taking place in yeast, the name of this process of asexual reproduction is budding.

Thus the name of the process of asexual reproduction is budding.

Note: When the progeny is produced by a single parent without or with the presence of a gamete, then the reproduction is asexual. When two opposite sex involves in the reproductive process and requires the fusion of female and male gametes, it is known as sexual reproduction.
