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 neighbouring 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 mating factor released by a yeast cell binds to receptors on the membranes of other types of yeast cells, leading to signal transduction and ultimately mating. Options A, B, and D are not characteristic of yeast signal transduction.
