Question

homework - asexual reproduction
a student observes a slide containing yeast cells under a microscope and sketches one of the cells. the figure shows the initial cell and sketches after 90 minutes and again after 120 minutes.
initial cell cell after 90 minutes cell after 120 minutes
what process does the student observe?
budding
meiosis
cell death
crossing over

Explanation:

Budding is a form of asexual reproduction where a new individual develops as an out - growth (bud) from the parent organism. In the case of yeast, a small bud forms on the parent cell, grows, and then detaches to become a new individual. Meiosis is a type of cell division for sexual reproduction, cell death would involve the breakdown of the cell structure, and crossing - over occurs during meiosis for genetic recombination. The images show a bud forming and growing on the yeast cell, which is characteristic of budding.

Answer:

A. budding
