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
