One of the following reproduces by budding:
Correct answer: B. Yeast
- A. Smut fungi
- B. Yeast
- C. Mushrooms
- D. Puccinia
Explanation
The correct answer is Yeast. Yeast is a unicellular fungus that reproduces asexually by a process called budding, where a small new cell develops from a parent cell and eventually detaches. In contrast, Smut fungi, Mushrooms, and Puccinia reproduce primarily through the production of various types of spores, which is a different method of reproduction compared to budding.

Fungi are mainly multicellular, non-photosynthetic organisms with chitinous cell walls that obtain nutrients by extracellular digestion and absorption. Coverage includes hyphae, mycelium, spores, yeast, moulds, mushrooms, decomposer and parasitic roles, and the differences between fungi, plants and bacteria.
