Abstract
This paper is concerned with the parity of a population of yeast cells, each of which may bud, not bud or die. Two multitype models are considered: a Galton-Watson process in discrete time, and its analogous birth-death process in continuous time. The mean number of cells with parity 0, 1, 2, … is obtained in both cases; some simple results are also derived for the second moments of the two processes.Keywords
