<span>A book contains letters, just like the DNA. It's how the letters are arranged-into words in a book- that makes them mean anything. The same is true of DNA bases. It is how they are arranged that makes them significant.</span>

DNA is like a book because the arrangement of nucleotides in the DNA determines the entire organism’s phenotype.

Further Explanation:

Gene is defined as the linear sequence of the nucleotides that are mainly encoded for a protein having a particular function. The alleles are defined as the variant type of the gene. DNA is mainly made up of the nucleotides and also contains genetic information in the genes. Every nucleotide mainly comprised of the phosphate group, deoxyribose, and nitrogenous base. DNA is mainly composed of four distinct types of nitrogenous base:

  • Cytosine  
  • Adenine
  • Guanine
  • Thymine

The letters in the book are similar to the nucleotide in the DNA. The meaningful combination of letters forms the information that is entitled. Similarly, the arrangement of nucleotides in the DNA is responsible for the structural and functional behavior of the organism. That’s why DNA is considered as a book that enclosed all the genetic information of the body.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

c. Two sister chromatids did not separate into the proper daughter cells during anaphase.

Explanation:

The observed cell is undergoing mitosis which does not include separation of homologous chromosomes. During anaphase of mitosis, two sister chromatids of each chromosome separate from each other. They move to opposite poles. This results in equal distribution of two complete sets of chromosomes to each daughter cell.

However, the failure of two sister chromatids of a chromosome during anaphase would lead to the formation of two abnormal daughter cells. One of the daughter cells would have one extra chromosome (2n+1) while the other would lack one chromosome from the diploid set (2n-1).
