Question

A student after viewing a prepared slide illustrates the budding in yeast in the following order which is not correct:

(A) b, c, d, e, a

(B) b, e, d, c, a

(C) b, d, e, c, a

(D) b, d, c, e, a

Answer 1

During budding in yeast, a single cell develops a protrusion wherein the nucleus divides to give rise to two daughter nuclei. One of the daughter nucleus migrates into the protrusion to form a bud. This bud then enlarges in size and may undergo budding while attached to the parent cell. Hence, budding results in a chain of cells.

The correct answer is D.
