Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The cells form aggregate to function as individual unit called a tissue. The tissues of different types regulating one specific function forms organs and various organs destined to control an individual system form organ system of the body.

Answer to Problem 1TY

The correct answer is option (d) all of the above.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

Option (d) all of the above.The cell theory states that all living organisms are made up of cells that are the smallest and the most fundamental unit of the living organism. The cells arise from already existing cells as a result of cell division. These three postulates define cell theory. So, the correct answer is option (d).

Explanation for incorrect answer:

Option (a) all living cells are composed of cells.The cell theory states three postulates and explains that all living organisms are made up of cells, but this in only the only postulate of cell theory. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option (b) cells are the smallest units of living organisms.According to cell theory the cells are the most fundamental and smallest component of the living organisms, but this is not the only postulate of cell theory. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option (c) new cells arise from pre-existing cells by cell division.New cells arise from pre-existing cells is the postulate of cell theory given by Rudolf Virchow, but this is not the only postulate of cell theory. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Option (e) a and b only. According to cell theory the living organisms are made up of cells and the new cells come from pre-existing cells through cell division but there is also a third postulate stating that cells are the smallest unit of living organism. So, this is an incorrect answer.

Conclusion

The cell theory states that all living cells are made up of smallest unit called cells that arise from pre-existing cells through cell division. Hence, the correct answer is option (d) all of the above.

You have returned to college to become a phylogeneticist. One of the first things you wish to do is determine how mammals, birds, and reptiles are related. Like any good scientist, you need to consider all available data objectively and without a preconceived “correct” answer. In pursuit of that, you should produce a phylogenetic tree based only on morphological features that show birds and mammals are more closely related. You will then produce a totally different tree, also using morphological features, that shows birds and reptiles are more closely related. Do not forget to include all three groups in both your trees. Based solely off the trees you produce, which relationship would you consider the more likely and why? Once you have answered that question, provide a brief summary of the “modern” understanding of the relationship between these three groups.
true or false, the reason geckos can walk on walls is hydrogen bonding between their foot pads and the moisture on the wall.
Biology laboratory problem Please help. thank you You have 20 ul of DNA solution and 6X DNA loading buffer solution. You have to mix your DNA solution and DNA loading buffer before load DNA in an agarose gel. The concentration of the DNA loading buffer must be 1X in the DNA and DNA-loading buffer mixture after you mix them. For that, I will add _____ ul of 6X loading buffer to the 20 ul DNA solution.
