Answer:

The selectively permeable membrane is important because it will allow only those materials and ions to pass which are required by a cell. The selectively permeable cell membrane is important to maintain the homeostatic conditions for a cell. It actively maintains the internal cell environment.

If cell membrane was not permeable then toxic molecules and ions as well as waste elements would enter the cell destroying the cell. An increase in the amount of ions in the cell might have caused the cell to burst.

Option A and C are correct.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The DNA is the genetic molecule of a cell in an organism that contains the genetic information stored in forms of genes. The genes are expressed by means of protein synthesis. The genes are formed of particular sequence of nitrogen bases that is called as codon. These codons are transcribed into particular amino acids. This process involves the participation of DNA dependent RNA synthase that produces the mRNA from the portion of DNA by means of transcription. The mRNA that is produced from the DNA is formed of complementary nitrogen bases from the DNA, just exception is that in RNA, thymine is replaced by Uracil. This process is known ad transcription.
