Various hormones and factors (signal molecules) both influence and encourage mitosis in vertebrate animals. What processes might these signal molecules elicit in cells, and why might this signaling be important to homeostasis for an animal?

Mechanisms enabling one cell to influence the behavior of another almost certainly existed in the world of unicellular organisms long before multicellular organisms appeared on Earth. Evidence comes from studies of present-day unicellular eucaryotes such as yeasts. Although these cells normally lead independent lives, they can communicate and influence one another's behavior in preparation for sexual mating. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, for example, when a haploid individual is ready to mate, it secretes a peptide mating factor that signals cells of the opposite mating type to stop proliferating and prepare to mate (Figure 15-2). The subsequent fusion of two haploid cells of opposite mating types produces a diploid cell, which can then undergo meiosis and sporulate, generating haploid cells with new assortments of genes.
