Solution:

Yeast is an example of Ascomycetes. They reproduce asexually by budding or by spores called conidia. The most distinctive feature of this group (e.g. Penicillium) is the formation of sac-like structure, the ascus, in which eight haploid spores are produced. Ascospores are formed by the sexual fusion of two hyphae of opposite mating types.
