Question
Chapter 6.6, Problem 1C
Summary Introduction
To explain: What can be predicted about the cell signaling mechanism of choanoflagellates and animals as they have similar protein kinases.
Concept introduction: The molecules of signaling pathways such as G protein, protein kinases, and phosphatases have been conserved in different organisms. It would be helpful to communicate with different organism and supposed to be important for cell survival.
