Is yeast cells in the OCR spec?

Hello, I came across a question on physics and maths tutor regarding mitosis of yeast cells in A level ocr biology but cannot find it in the spec so does that mean I don't need to be familiar with it?
Yeast is a eukaryote, so presumably they do mitosis like all the other eukaryotes, right?

Its a little different in terms how the cell divides because the part of the cell swells, and nucleus moves towards the buds, at which point the cell divides. But i can't find it in my spec so i shouldnt be expected to know this right?

If it's not in the spec, you don't have to know it.
