Cellular Processes and the Genetic Environment 1. Describe cellular processes and alterations within cellular processes. Movement. Muscle cells can generate forces that produce motion. Muscles that are attached to bones produce limb movements, whereas those that enclose hollow tubes or cavities move or empty contents when they contract. For example, the contraction of smooth muscle cells surrounding blood vessels changes the diameter of the vessels; the contraction of muscles in walls of t...

WGU Biochemistry Final Review 1. The polymerase chain reaction is a tool used to study protein structure. True False False Feedback PCR is a tool used to amplify a specific segment of DNA. What color is the primer in the following diagram? Red Purple Blue Red Feedback Recall from the section on DNA replication that DNA polymerase needs a primer to begin DNA synthesis. This requirement means the primers will direct the DNA polymerase to only synthesize complementary stran...
