Fungi That Reproduce by "Budding" Are

Question

Fungi that reproduce by "budding" are:
A) prokaryotic.
B) yeasts.
C) autotrophic.
D) made of hyphae to form a reproductive mycelium.

Accepted Answer

Yeasts are one of the few types of fungi that reproduce asexually by "budding." They are eukaryotic and non-autotrophic, meaning they cannot produce their own food. They are single-celled organisms that can form colonies and are commonly used in baking, brewing, and other biotechnological processes. Choices A and C are incorrect because fungi are always eukaryotic and non-autotrophic. Choice D is incorrect because while some fungi do form reproductive mycelia, this is not unique to budding yeasts.
