A Few Questions for Thought • Describe the life cycle of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, noting relationships between mitotic growth, the alternation of generations, meiosis, conjugation and spore formation. • Review the compartments and cytoskeleton of the eukaryotic cell, comparing and contrasting what you learned in the first semester with this model yeast. • Compare and contrast (in a simple way) mammalian and fungal cell cycles. • Describe the role(s) of septins, spindle pole bodies, and CDC42 protein in the growth of E. coli. • How is a cell’s mating type identity determined? How can it switch (and why)? How is switching repressed in certain cells? Why is this important? • (After lab) Explain how a cell senses the presence of a mating partner, and what happens once it shows interest?
