Read the selection from the section "Cells Carry Information To The Next Generation. "In the 1880s, Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri identified the chromosome as being responsible for passing down genes from one generation to the next. The discovery forever linked genetics and cytology. Later discoveries further confirmed and solidified the role of the cell in passing characteristics down from one generation to another. One famous example is James Watson and Francis Crick's studies on the structure of DNA. What conclusion is BEST supported by the selection above?

With the description of the different cell walls, membranes, and associated proteins set in the students' minds, you now need to introduce them to the idea that the cell wall can also act as a foundation to build things upon. bacterial appendages require a strong foundation that will offer the support needed to move and function in a dynamic world. for example, flagella are long, whiplike protein structures that are used by many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria for locomotion. in order to function effectively, a flagellum must be firmly anchored to the cell wall. how will you be able to get across the idea that the peptidoglycan cell wall is strong enough to support such a mechanism? with a protein rod that passes through the cell wall and protein rings used to anchor it in the membranes, these basal bodies are the rudimentary biological motors that use atp power to spin the hook and the flagella attached to it. bacterial flagella have a biological motor that spins within the cell wall and is powered by atp. this allows the flagella to spin in a whiplike motion to propel the bacterium.

Recombinant dna (rdna) creates offspring which are genetically identical to the parent is the process of breeding only organisms with desirable traits involves the removal of the nucleus of a cell combines genes from organisms of different species in a lab

Clara wrote the following hypothesis for an experiment about acidophilic bacteria. bacteria cells will stop dividing in a basic (alkaline) environment because of the high ph. which statement is the best way to restate the hypothesis so that it is more specific? growing acidophilic bacteria in some environments will cause the cells to stop dividing because of ph. if the ph of their environment is changed, acidophilic bacterial cell division will be affected. if the environment of acidophilic bacterial cells becomes alkaline, the bacteria will stop dividing. the more alkaline an environment, the less cell division will occur in bacteria.
