Spores of yeasts are produced in structures called asci or ascospores during sexual reproduction in ascomycete yeasts, or as asexual spores known as conidia in some species. In addition to these spores, yeast can also reproduce asexually through budding, where a new cell forms off the parent cell. The term "spores" generally refers to these reproductive cells, while "yeast" itself is typically used to describe unicellular fungi in the Saccharomyces genus and others.
