"Yeast" reproduces by:
Correct answer: D. Budding
- A. Spores
- B. Conidia
- C. Fragmentation
- D. Budding
- E. Nuclear fusion
Explanation
Yeast reproduces primarily through a process called budding, which is a form of asexual reproduction.In budding, a small bud or outgrowth forms on the parent yeast cell. The bud gradually enlarges in size and eventually detaches from the parent cell, becoming a separate individual yeast cell. This process is similar to how a bud grows on a plant and eventually becomes a new plant
