Biology

Allushta [10]3 years ago

DNA is considered the molecule of life because it contains the instructions that ensure the continuity of life. Employment of DNA to code for protein is the basis of all life on earth. 

In all living things, inherited DNA  is used to code for amino acids  which when joined or linked together in a deliberate specific  manner form polypeptides which make up proteins. These proteins are responsible for  structure and function of cells. 

For example DNA provides information to make  four polypeptide (two beta and two alpha ) chains  which make up hemoglobin, the protein that functions as the oxygen carrier in red blood cells. In summary,

DNA → protein →  trait, and that relationship is the physical basis of life.

Answer:

It made it possible for people to discover and learn about cells.

Explanation:

The cell is the basic unit of structure and function of all living beings. A cell can also be defined as a morphological, functional, and reproductive unit of all living beings.

Every living organism is made up of one or more cells. All cells are created from an existing cell. A cell is the smallest unit that has all the characteristics of life. A set of cells of similar or the same appearance, embryonic origin, and function is called tissue.

The science that studies the cell is called cytology. There are organic and inorganic compounds in the cell. Of the inorganic compounds, water and salts are the most common. Organic compounds in the cell contain carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
