A
  1. loss of cell wall
  2. development of cytoskeleton
  3. origin of a nuclear envelope
  4. ribosomes became associated with internal membranes

  • provide cell support
  • allow changes in support
    -move materials around the cell

budding

A

outgrowth of new cell from surface of an old one

Q

asexual spre

A

specialized cells that develop into new organism

25
Q

conjugation

A

sexual process involving exchange of genetic material without reproduction, carried out by paramecium
