O protein chains display lifelike mobility in moving through a cell
Ο Ο Ο Ο
a daughter cell has the same chromosomes as a parent cell
cells do not grow past a certain size

Answer 1

protein chains display lifelike mobility in moving through a cell

Step-by-step explanation:

One part of the cell theory as proposed by Mathias Scleiden, Rudolf Virchow and Theodor Schwann in 1830's states that: Cell is the fundamental and basic unit of life. This means that cell is the lowest form of any living thing that can be found.

However, in a case whereby protein chains display lifelike mobility in moving through a cell, this opposes the universal cell theory in the sense that protein molecule cannot display characteristics of life (movement) in a cell when the basic unit is CELL itself.
