Answer Choices:

DNA provides the energy needed for an organism to grow and function

DNA is copied into mRNA, which controls cellular functions

DNA codes for proteins, which allow an organism to grow and function

DNA unzips and each strand codes for a different amino acid

Answer:

DNA codes for proteins, which allow an organism to grow and function

Explanation:

DNA provides the energy needed for an organism to grow and function - this is false. DNA does not provide energy. A molecule called ATP, mostly produced by cellular respiration, provides energy for the cells to grow and function.

DNA is copied into mRNA, which controls cellular functions - this is false. While it is true that DNA is copied into mRNA, mRNA does not directly control cellular functions. Instead, mRNA is translated into proteins.

DNA codes for proteins, which allow an organism to grow and function - <u>this is true, as indicated above, DNA is transcribed to mRNA which is translated into proteins. Proteins carry out essentially all the functions in the cell</u>

DNA unzips and each strand codes for a different amino acid - this is false, DNA is transcribed into mRNA. Each mRNA codon (three bases) codes for a different amino acid

Answer;

-Reproduction;

Explanation;

-Mitosis is a shape of cell division that outcomes in two daughter cells which might be genetically identical to every other and to the unique cell.In unicellular organisms together with micro organism, mitosis is a kind of asexual duplicate, making equal copies of a unmarried mobile.

- Single-celled or unicellular organisms use cell division as their method of reproduction. Mitosis is a type of asexual reproduction, making identical copies of a single cell. Cells make identical copies of themselves through mitosis.

Why do prokaryotes reproduce faster than eukaryotes?

JulijaS [17]

Prokaryotic cells reproduce asexually which makes it easier for them to multiply because all they have to do is split in half where as eukaryotic cells reproduce sexually so they have to find another cell to meet with in order to reproduce.
