Question 4

Both bacteria and yeast reproduce by asexual method, but how does this method differ in them ?

Answer

Bacteria reproduces by cell division or binary fission. The circular DNA duplicates. The cell expands and the two DNA are pulled apart. The cell constricts at the middle separating the two cells.
Fungi like yeast reproduce by budding. In budding, a small bud or daughter cell is formed on the parent cell. The bud continues to grow until it separates from the parent cell, forming a new cell.
