6. TRUE or FALSE: F-actin polymerization is mediated by Ras family of GTPases.

4. TRUE or FALSE: Muscular dystrophies are caused by genetic mutations in the genes controlling actin-based cellular structures.

Definition Definition Chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that vary in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes.
