Yeast Budding and Genetic Variation
Description
Yeast cells reproduce by budding and can also switch to sexual reproduction. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a unicellular eukaryote, so it carries out many of the same basic biological processes seen in humans. Scientists use it as a model organism to study how cells grow and divide.
Asexual reprodu...

Transcript
Despite being a simple unicellular eukaryote, Saccharomyces cerevisiae serves as a valuable model organism because its cellular processes, such as the cell cycle, resemble those found in higher order eukaryotes, like us. In the yeast cell cycle, cell growth and cell division are tightly linked and are dependent on f...
