Using the Yeast Signal Transduction Pathways, Both Types of Mating

question 24

Multiple Choice

Using the yeast signal transduction pathways, both types of mating cells release the mating factors. These factors bind to specific receptors on the correct cells,

• A) which induce changes in the cells that lead to cell fusion.
• B) which produce more of the a factor in a positive feedback.
• C) then one cell nucleus binds the mating factors and produces a new nucleus in the opposite cell.
• D) stimulating cell membrane disintegration, releasing the mating factors that lead to new yeast cells.
• E) which in turn releases a growth factor that stimulates mitosis in both cells.

Definitions:

SSE

The sum of squared errors, which measures the total deviation of observed values from their mean in statistical models.

Confidence Interval

The interval estimate of the mean value of y for a given value of x.

Linear Regression Model

A statistical technique that models and examines the linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables by fitting a linear equation to observed data.

Interval Estimate

An estimate of a population parameter that provides an interval believed to contain the value of the parameter. For the interval estimates in this chapter, it has the form: point estimate ± margin of error.
