What is yeast? Describe the process of reproduction in yeast with the help of labelled diagrams.

Yeast is a tiny, unicellular non-green plant which reproduces by an asexual method called budding.

In yeast, first a bud appears on the outside of the cell wall. The nucleus of the parent cell divides into two parts and one part of the nucleus moves into the bud. Ultimately, the bud separates off from the parent cell and forms a new yeast cell
