Chapter 4, Problem 2TYU
Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: Cells are the smallest structural, functional, and biological unit of all living organisms. Cell has the capacity of self-replication; therefore, it is often considered as “building blocks of life”. The cellular structures and the functions are studied through microscopy, genetics, and computational methods.
