Solution

(b) Asexual reproduction takes place through budding in yeast.


Yeasts are non-green, eukaryotic, single-celled microorganisms belonging to the kingdom fungus. Yeast cells reproduce asexually by an asymmetric division process called budding. In yeast, budding usually occurs during the abundant supply of nutrition. In this process of reproduction, a small bud arises as an outgrowth of the parent body. Later the nucleus of the parent yeast is separated into two parts and one of the nuclei shifts into the bud. The newly created bud divides and grows into a new cell.
