Question

4 multiple choice 1 point two yeast haploid cells of opposite mating types may mate to produce a diploid cell. this is a necessary process because haploid cells dont survive under most living conditions yeast cells prefer to live in a diploid state haploid cells dont survive well in stress conditions diploid cells can have cell division

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Haploid yeast cells can survive in many conditions, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: Yeast can exist as haploid or diploid; there's no "preference" for diploid, so wrong.
• Option 3: Haploid yeast cells are less resilient to stress (like nutrient scarcity, harsh environments). Mating to form diploid helps survival in stress, so this is correct.
• Option 4: Both haploid and diploid yeast cells can undergo cell division (haploid by mitosis, diploid by mitosis or meiosis), so this is incorrect.

Answer:

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