This image shows the formation of budscar on yeast cells which is a unique characteristic.  The scan tissue is left on the surface of the parent yeast cell after the budding phenomena occurs and one cell is divided into two. 

Notice the asymetric bud scar tissue on the surface of the yeast cell.  Why is this budscar material different from the rest of the cell surface?
