5) Algae in the genus Caulerpa typically grow to a length of over half a meter and have structure
similar to stems, leaves, and roots. Reproduction occurs when adults produce sperm and eggs
that fuse to form offspring. Each adult Caulerpa consists of just a single cell, however. Which of
the following statements is TRUE?
A) Caulerpa violate the pattern component of the cell theory that all organisms consist of cells.
B) Caulerpa violate the process component of the cell theory that all cells come from preexisting
cells.
C) Caulerpa violate both the pattern and process components of the cell theory.
D) The existence of Caulerpa is consistent with the cell theory.

7) The cell theory states that all cells come from preexisting cells. If this is the case, why are the
cells in a multicellular organism so different from one another?
A) Cells in a multicellular organism are exposed to different energy sources allowing them to
develop different features.
B) During cell division, the genetic information that is replicated and passed onto the daughter
cells is different from the original cell.
C) The genetic information of each cell is copied and passed on to the daughter cells and the
molecular machinery that reads that genetic information is different in each cell.
D) The genetic information of each cell is copied and passed on to the daughter cells and the
molecular machinery makes copies of particular genes in different cells to generate different
features in those cells.

the cell
