A Description Of And The Role Of Cellular Signaling In Mating in Yeast:
Even relatively simple species have evolved mechanisms to organize individual organisms into communities, such that the fitness of the group is greater than the fitness of isolated individuals. Within the fungal kingdom, the ability of
many yeast species to organize into communities is crucial for their growth and survival, and this property has important impacts both on the economy and on human health.

How does a yeast mating serve as an example of a
signal transduction pathway?
Alpha yeast sends alpha signals that A yeast receives. A yeast sends A signals that only alpha can receive. The respective signals are then transduced and a response is carried out (mating).
