Suppose that you have identified a new mutant cell line that lacks functional peroxisomes. Describe how you could determine experimentally whether the mutant is primarily defective for insertion/assembly of peroxisomal membrane proteins or matrix proteins.
Oogenesis
The formation of the ovum (mature female gamete) from undifferentiated germ cells is called oogenesis. This process takes place in the ovaries (female gonads). Oogenesis consists of three stages known as the multiplication phase, growth phase, and maturation phase.
Cell Division
Cell division involves the formation of new daughter cells from the parent cells. It is a part of the cell cycle that takes place in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Cell division is required for three main reasons:
Suppose that you have identified a new mutant cell line that lacks functional peroxisomes. Describe how you could determine experimentally whether the mutant is primarily defective for insertion/assembly of peroxisomal membrane proteins or matrix proteins.
Cell line means a population of cells that can be maintained in culture for an extended period of time. Peroxisomes are small , membrane-enclosed organelles present in cell. Peroximsome contain enzymes that are involved in a variety of metabolic reactions.
