Q
Yeast
A
A and alpha mating types
A secretes a which binds to recrptors on alpha and making cells grow close together
Until they merge
2
Q
Signal trAnsduction pathway
A
Process by which a signal on a cells surface is converted to a specific cellular response in a series of steps
3
Q
Quorum sensing
A
Cells of many bacterial species secrete small molecules detected by other bacterial cells
The concentration allows different groups to detect local density of bacteria
- lead to coordination of their activities
- come together to form biofilms
4
Q

A
IAggregation of bacteria forming structures of specialized function
