Abstract

A multitype branching process is proposed as a model for the behaviour of populations of the budding yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae. Using the idea of branching processes counted by random characteristics, we are able to obtain explicit expressions describing different aspects of the asymptotic composition of such populations. The main purpose of this note is to show that the branching process approach is an alternative to deterministic population models based on differential equation methods.
