What is double stranded, transferrable, and carries somewhat unnecessary, but virulent, genes?
Plasmid
Participate in autophagy of damaged cell components.
Lysosomes
True/False-Looking at the flagella of a eukaryotic cell, it lacks the “rod“ structure that a prokaryotic cell has, but still contains a basal body for support
True
