Yeast reproduces asexually by the process of budding.

Budding is a type of asexual reproduction in which a new organism is formed from a bud of an existing organism. A small bud is formed at a specific position on the parent cell. The nucleus of parent cells splits and a part of it enters inside the newly formed bud. The bud develops into a new cell or daughter organism. The new organism remains attached to the parent organism till it gets matured. After attaining maturity it separates from the parent body.
