How will these engineered cells behave in terms of mating? A) They will only mate with normal mating type a cells. B) They will only mate with normal mating type cells. C) They will mate with each other or with normal mating type a cells, but not with normal mating type a cells. D) They will only mate each other and not with normal mating type a or a cells.
