The cell must also contain all of the machinery needed to gather raw materials from the environment and to construct from them a new cell in its own image, complete with a new copy of the hereditary information of its parent.

In this process, the two strands of a DNA double helix are pulled apart, and each serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand.THE UNIVERSAL FEATURES OF LIFE ON EARTH There are more than 2 million described species living on Earth today, but many, many more are yet to be discovered. Many millions of scientific papers are relevant to cell biology, and many important new ones are published daily.

And production manager Jane Searle adeptly managed the process of translating our raw material into the polished final product. Every chapter in the Seventh Edition has been significantly updated with information on new discoveries in the field of cell biology. But as we discuss in Chapter 6, some RNA transcripts do not serve as information carriers; instead, they function directly in the cell to carry out a variety of other functions. Uumlber den AutorBruce Alberts received his PhD from Harvard University and is the Chancellor s Leadership Chair in Biochemistry .The digital format with embedded animations and dynamic question types makes the Digital Problems Book in Smartwork easier to assign than ever before—for both in-person and online classes. We can take a piece of DNA from a human cell and insert it into a bacterium or a piece of bacterial DNA and insert it into a human cell, and, with only a few minor modifications, the information will be successfully read, interpreted, and copied. The digital format with embedded animations and dynamic question types makes the Digital Problems Book in Smartwork easier to assign than ever before―for both in-person and online classes. Each strand then can serve as a template, in the way just described, for the synthesis of a fresh DNA strand complementary to itself—a fresh copy, that is, of the hereditary information (Figure 1–3).
