**Bread and Beer Microbe: Reproduction**

In the gram stain above, the microbe is reproducing by a process called ____. Is this sexual or asexual reproduction?

- ○ cytokinesis; sexual
- ○ mitosis; sexual
- ○ budding; asexual
- ○ meiosis; sexual

**Image Description:**  
The image shows a dense cluster of purple-stained spherical microbes, resembling yeast cells often used in bread and beer fermentation. The clusters are observed as individual cells and groups of cells showing budding, a form of asexual reproduction.

Informative Description:
In this image, budding is the process being depicted, a form of asexual reproduction frequently used by yeast cells. It involves the formation of a new cell on the side of the parent cell, eventually detaching to become an independent organism.
