Which came first, the hypha or the yeast?

Article Abstract:

Research shows that the yeast form of C. albicans is maintained by the general transcriptional repressor TUPI. Deletion of this repressor causes the fungus to grow only in its pseudohyphal form. The general consensus is that the yeast form is the default. Understanding of the polymorphic nature of C. albicans is still preliminary.
