How do cells become competent?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Cells are the basic functional and structural unit of life. Unicellular organisms have only the single cell carrying out all the functions for its survival and reproduction whereas, in multicellular organisms, multiple cells work in a coordinated manner to carry out all such functions. A cell is a sac-like structure bounded by a selectively permeable membrane, cell membrane. Some cells also have a cell wall outside the cell membrane.
