Answer:

It transmits genetic information to the next generation

Explanation:

DNA does not speed up chemical reactions inside the cells. That's the enzyme's job.

DNA does not directly form proteins. Amino acids form proteins

It does not provide a form of energy to the cells. Energy is produced in the cell when a phosphate from ATP is broken to from ADP.

Hence, we have only one option left. It transmits genetic information to the next generation. This is true as DNA contains genetic information and plays a major role in the characteristics of an organism.

Hope this helped!!!

Answer:

It transmits genetic information to the next generation

Explanation:

DNA stores information on how the cell should be made and ‘run’. This is why it is critical that its integrity is well preserved. Otherwise, mutations on DNA can be lethal to the cell. In higher cells, DNA is protected in the nucleolus. To pass down the genetic information, DNA is replicated by DNA polymerases and then during cell division, either copy of the pair goes to each of the two daughter cells.

Why are most genes inhibited in an average animal cell
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Most genes must be turned off because cells play specific functions, thereby only a limited number of genes must be expressed in each cell type in order to produce proteins required in the cell  

Explanation:

Gener regulation is a critical molecular mechanism required for normal cell functioning. In consequence, genes are turned on and off depending on the cell type. For example, in the brain, cells that will be differentiated into neurons will be expressed, while genes involved in the differentiation of undifferentiated myoblasts into muscle cells will be turned off. Thus, genes are switched off in order to produce only those specific proteins which are required for each cell during specific developmental programs and functions carried out by each cell type.

A geneticist uses a cloning plasmid that contains the lacZ gene and a gene that confers resistance to penicillin. She inserts a
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

b. Bacteria with the desired plasmid produce white colonies.

Explanation:

The bacterial lacZ gene is usually used as a reporter gene, which encodes beta-galactosidase, an enzyme that breakdown lactose but can also breakdown a colourless synthetic analog X-gal, thereby producing blue colonies on X-gal–containing media. But the lacZ will be disabled when the recombinant DNA is spliced into the plasmid. This is because the LacZ protein will not be produced when the gene is disabled. Thus, X-gal will not be broken down and white colonies will be produced, which can then be separated and identified.

A cladogram of feline species is shown.
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Pardus and Leo

Explanation:

If not, it is "concolor" and "jubatus" but Pardus and Leo share "Panthera" <em>genus </em>and are part of the same off-branch which leads me to conclude that they are more similar
