For the yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae, cells of different mating types secrete factors that bind to specific receptor proteins on the cell surface of cells of the opposite mating type. this initiates a signal transduction pathway that eventually results in

Cell fusion 

Cell fusion can be defined as a cellular process where several unicellular cells combine together to form multicellular cell known as syncytium. Thus, cell fusion is essential for viral entry, muscle differentiation, fertilization, trophoblast cells and placental development. Furthermore, cell fusion is very important process in cell maturation in other to maintain specific function throughout growth.
