Reproduction In Organisms

Question
CBSEENBI12001106

 Describe the fission in yeast.

Solution
Yeast has asexual reproduction by fission. During fission in yeast the cell divides unequally. Small buds are formed which may initially remain attatched to the mother cell and  then separate and grow into new individuals. The nucleus divides into two daughter nuclei by Karyokinesis. The daughter nuclei separate. The cytoplasm also divides by cytokinesis. A double cross wall is deposited in the furrow to form two daughter cells. The middle part of the double cross wall degenerates and the daughter cells separate.
