Question

Yeast reproduces by

Answer 1

Hint:- Reproduction can be sexual or asexual. Asexual reproduction involves cell division. Yeast is a unicellular organism and most of the unicellular organisms reproduce asexually. Mitosis is an important phase of cell division. Asymmetrical division of cells is observed by yeast. It can either reproduce through budding or binary fission. These both are the asexual processes. Yeast does not involve other parents to form its progeny. It can individually form many copies by the process of budding or binary fission.

Complete answer:
Reproduction is the process of production of offspring or we can say that it is a process of copying something. It is a biological process. It is a fundamental process observed in living organisms. There are mainly two types of reproduction either it can sexual in which two parents are involved or it can be asexual where only one parent can produce their offspring. Yeast is the single – celled eukaryotic microorganism. These are the members of the fungus kingdom.
Millions of years ago the first yeast originated. Only 1 percent of fungus species are yeast. Most of the yeast reproduces asexually by the process of mitosis. Many of them do by budding. Budding is the process of development of outgrowth on the body of the organisms which further separate and form new progenies. Yeast also has a sexual reproductive cycle.
Yeast is the unicellular organism which reproduces through asexual mode of reproduction. Yeast can reproduce through budding or binary fission.

Note:-
Yeast is a very useful microorganism that has various advantages in the field of biotechnology and fermentation of sugars. Yeast is used for making much food. It is also known by various names such as baker’s yeast in bread production, brewer’s yeast in beer fermentation. It is used as model organisms for genetics and cell biology. Sometimes it can be infectious also for many people.
