10 Questions
Why do organisms look similar according to the text?
Because their body designs are similar
What is the basic event in reproduction according to the text?
Creation of a DNA copy
What is the role of DNA in reproduction according to the text?
Information source for making proteins
Why is it essential to create DNA copies during reproduction according to the text?
To ensure inheritance of features
How are two copies of DNA created in a reproducing cell according to the text?
Cells use chemical reactions to build copies of their DNA
What is the role of DNA in reproduction according to the text?
The DNA in the cell nucleus is the information source for making proteins. If the information is changed, different proteins will be made. Different proteins will eventually lead to altered body designs.
How are copies of DNA created in reproducing cells?
Cells use chemical reactions to build copies of their DNA, creating two copies of the DNA in a reproducing cell.
Why is it essential to create DNA copies during reproduction according to the text?
Reproduction at its most basic level involves making copies of the blueprints of body design, and a basic event in reproduction is the creation of a DNA copy. Different proteins made from altered DNA will eventually lead to altered body designs.
What contains information for inheritance of features from parents to the next generation?
Chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell contain information for inheritance of features from parents to the next generation in the form of DNA molecules.
What is the information source for making proteins in a cell?
The DNA in the cell nucleus is the information source for making proteins.
