Tubular reabsorption is quantitatively large & highly selective.

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
Fold potential (measured in negative units) is high (more negative) in introns, and low (more positive) in exons.
#Id: 534
An actual overlapping gene occurs when the same sequence of DNA encodes two nonhomologous proteins because it uses more than one reading frame.
#Id: 535
We use the principle of parsimony in comparing the organization of orthologous genes by assuming that a common feature predates the evolutionary separation of the two species.

The shape of a bacterium is governed by its rigid cell wall.

Some bacterial species are pleomorphic. Example: genera Arthrobacter, Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, Mycoplasma, etc.
