The ribosome of the bacterium E. coli includes the ribosomal protein L4 (rpl4). The rpl4 gene carries the instructions for makin

Answer:

Every organism possesses in its ribosome a protein that is similar to rpl4. This protein has an amino acid sequence that is similar to the sequence of E. coli’s rpl4.

Explanation:

Phylogenetic tree is a diagram which represents the similarities between different organisms and shows their evolutionary histories.

The presence of a similar genetic sequence or amino acid sequence shows that the gene is common in all those organisms. This means that all organisms had a common ancestor through which the gene or amino acid was transferred. The genetic r amino acid sequence remained common in all the different organisms.

ANSWER: The presence of cork cambium depicts that the plant has undergone secondary growth.

EXPLANATION: Cork cambium is also referred to as is also known as Phellogen (a meristematic cell layer). It is found in vascular plants and located in the peridermis.

However, presence of cork cambium indicates that the plant has undergone secondary growth, which is elicited as a result of cell division in the cambia or lateral meristems, which in turn causes the stem and root to thicken.

PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY Which statement about cell theory is INCORRECT? New cells are spontaneously created from existing cells. A
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

New cells are spontaneously created from existing cells

Explanation:

In the 1830's, three scientists namely: Matthias Schleiden (a botanist), Theodor Schwann (a zoologist) and Rudolf Virchow proposed the Unified cell theory. In this theory, three parts were universally accepted and they are as follows:

1) Cells are the fundamental and basic unit of all life and structure.

2) All living organisms are made up of one or more of these cells.

3) New cells arise from already pre-existing cells.

These three parts are the widely accepted parts of the cell theory. Although, it was once believed that new cells arose from inorganic matter. This theory, called spontaneous generation or abiogenesis was later disapproved.

Therefore, the statement that, "new cells are spontaneously created from existing cells" is not a part of the CELL THEORY.
