Classify each statement as to whether it represents a piece of evidence that supports the endosymbiont theory of the evolution of mitochondria and chloroplasts from prokaryotes. Some organellar genes have migrated to the nucleus. Evidence for the endosymbiont theory Does not support endosymbiont theory Some organelle proteins are encoded in the nucleus. Organelles do not have flagella. Mitochondrial rRNA genes are most similar to the rRNA gene of a bacterium. Organelle translation is inhibited by antibiotics that inhibit prokaryotic translation...
Classify the statements below as to whether they describe mitochondria, chloroplasts, or both. Cannot live independently because they require some proteins and RNAS encoded by nuclear genes. In some species, some codons specify a different amino acid than is specified in the universal genetic code. Translation is inhibited by chemicals known to inhibit bacterial translation, such as chloramphenicol Carry genes for some of the enzymes of photosynthetic electron transport. rRNA gene sequences are most similar to cyanobacteria. May have arisen...
1) Discuss the importance of magnification and resolution in microscopy. How are the magnification and resolution of a light microscope different from that of an electron microscope? 2) Which microscope would you use to study the following? a) the changes in shape of a living human white blood cell b) the finest details of the surface texture of a human hair c) the detailed structure of an organelle in a liver cell 3) State the cell theory?...
