Question

Budding in yeast results in which of the following outcomes?
Options
A A smaller daughter cell detaches from the parent
Correct Answer
B Equal-sized daughter cells
C Spore formation
D Binary fusion
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In budding, a small outgrowth or 'bud' forms on the parent cell. The nucleus divides, and one nucleus migrates into the bud, which grows and eventually pinches off as a smaller, genetically identical daughter cell.

Hint

The parent and offspring are not equal in size initially.
