(B) Draw three diagrams in correct sequence showing budding in yeast.
When you study a slide showing different stages of budding in yeast, you observe the following stages:-
I. The bud may get separated from the parent body and develop into a new individual.
II. The body of the bud develops and gives rise to another baby bud.
III. A bud comes out in any direction from the body of the parent cell.
