Question

Identify the figures showing the process of budding in yeast.

(A) I, II and III

(B) II, III and IV

(C) I, II and IV

(D) III, IV and I

Answer 1

III, IV and I show the process of budding in a yeast.

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

Hence, the correct option is D.
