Question

multiple choice 15 points
two yeast haploid cells of opposite mating types may mate to produce a diploid cell. this is a necessary process because
haploid cells don’t survive under most living conditions
yeast cells prefer to live in a diploid state
haploid cells don’t survive well in stress conditions
diploid cells can have cell division

Explanation:

Haploid yeast cells are more vulnerable to stress - related challenges compared to diploid cells. Diploidy provides genetic redundancy which can help in withstanding harsh conditions. Haploid cells can survive under normal conditions and there is no evidence that yeast cells have a preference for the diploid state just for living purposes. All cells including haploid and diploid can undergo cell division.

Answer:

C. Haploid cells don’t survive well in stress conditions
