question 27

Multiple Choice

• A) interfering with the translation of proteins and examining the cell's ability to transport fluorescently tagged proteins
• B) adding a detergent to the cells to lyse the membranes and examining transport of fluorescently tagged proteins
• C) genetically engineering mutations in genes and measuring changes in Golgi complex morphology
• D) treating cells with inhibitors of the secretory pathway and measuring changes in Golgi complex morphology
• E) altering the pH of the media to selectively regulate different enzymes and measuring changes in Golgi complex morphology

Definitions:

Fertilization

The process of combining male (sperm) and female (ovum) gametes to form a zygote, initiating embryonic development in sexually reproducing organisms.

Sporogenesis

The process of spore formation, especially in fungi, algae, mosses, and ferns.

Bacteria

Single-celled microorganisms that can exist either as independent organisms or as parasites, some of which can cause diseases.

Asexually

Reproduction without the combination of genetic material from two different parents, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.
