In yeast signal transduction, a yeast cell releases a mating factor, which ________.
A) acts back on the same cell that secreted the mating factor, changing its development
B) passes through the membranes of neighboring cells, binds to DNA, and initiates transcription
C) binds to receptors on the membranes of other types of yeast cells
D) diffuses through the membranes of distant cells, causing them to produce factors that initiate long-distance migrations

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The yeast cell releases a mating factor that binds to receptors on the membranes of other types of yeast cells, initiating signal transduction and leading to the mating process. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the process of yeast signal transduction.
