Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Yeast are able to communicate with each other through chemical signaling, specifically by secreting and detecting molecules called pheromones which trigger responses in neighboring cells. Close cell-to-cell contact and merging of cell walls are not necessary for this communication to occur, and yeast do not have pseudopodia.
