Biological Classification And System Of Classification Question 135
Question: In yeast during budding which process occurs
[CPMT 1984]
Options:
A) Synapsis
B) Unequal division of cytoplasm
C) Doubling of chromosomes
D) Spindle formation
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Option A) Synapsis: This is not correct. Synapsis is the pairing of two homologous chromosomes that occurs during meiosis. It does not occur during the budding process in yeast.
Option B) Unequal division of cytoplasm: This is the correct answer. During the budding process in yeast, a small bud forms on the parent yeast cell. The nucleus divides equally, but the cytoplasm is divided unequally. The bud receives a smaller portion of the cytoplasm, while the parent cell retains the majority.
Option C) Doubling of chromosomes: This is not correct. While the chromosomes do replicate during the budding process, this is part of the normal cell cycle and not specific to budding.
Option D) Spindle formation: This is not correct. While spindle fibers do form during cell division to separate the chromosomes, this is also part of the normal cell cycle and not specific to budding.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) Unequal division of cytoplasm, as this is the process that specifically occurs during the budding process in yeast.
