Yeast Reproduction
Description
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a species of yeast that is an extremely valuable model organism. Importantly, S. cerevisiae is a unicellular eukaryote that undergoes many of the same biological processes as humans. This video provides an introduction to the yeast cell cycle, and explains how S. cerevisiae reproduces both a...

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...
