The cytoskeleton has many functions. It is made up of different types of proteins that combine to make different types of filaments. The cytoskeletal filaments are dynamic, meaning they can grow and shrink at different parts of the cell and at different rates.
1 Another method of genetic transfer and recombination is transduction. 2  This method involves the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another with the use of a bacteriophage (phage). 3  A phage is a virus that infects bacteria.
A means of reproduction in which duplicate DNA molecules are separated by cell elongation, followed by formation of a septum to divide the cytoplasm is called. binary fission. 24. A device that removes wastes and adds fresh medium to bacterial cultures in order to prolong the log phase of a culture is called a.
