Question
Choose the correct statement from the following:
Options
Gametes are involved in asexual reproduction.
Bacteria reproduce asexually by budding.
Conidia formation is a method of sexual reproduction.
Yeast reproduce by budding.
Solution
Yeast reproduce by budding.
Explanation:
Yeast reproduces asexually through a process called budding, where a small outgrowth (bud) forms on the parent cell, grows, and eventually detaches to become a new organism. This process is common in unicellular organisms like yeast. The other options are incorrect because gametes are involved in sexual reproduction, bacteria reproduce by binary fission, and conidia formation is a method of asexual reproduction, not sexual.
