Summary Introduction
To categorize: The structural and functional similarities in cells.
Introduction: All life forms are formed of cells. Cells are very small to be seen with the naked eye. The size of a cell ranges from 1 µm to 100 µm in diameter. Robert Hooke was the first person to observe the cells under a microscope during 1665. He also coined the term “cell”.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas.
