Asexual reproduction in yeasts occurs by budding. Due to unequal cytokinesis, the "bud" cell receives less cytoplasm than the parent cell. Which of the following statements should be an accurate characterization of the smaller cell until it reaches the size of the larger cell?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The smaller cell has less cytoplasm, which means it has a smaller amount of resources available to carry out metabolic activities such as fermentation. Therefore, it should produce fewer fermentation products per unit time. The other choices are not directly related to the process of unequal cytokinesis.
