When you study a slide showing different stages of budding in yeast, you
observe the following stages :
I.

The bud may get separated from the parent body and develop into
a new individual.

II.

The body of the bud develops and gives rise to another baby bud.

III.

A bud comes out in any direction from the body of the parent cell.

IV.

Thus they may form a colony.

The proper sequence of the above stages is

teacher then gave him another mirror of focal length, F2 and asked him
to obtain a focussed image of the same object on the same screen. The
student found that in order to focus the same object using the second
