Define the role of DNA​

Biology
2 answers:
Molodets [167]3 years ago

DNA primarily serves as a molecule for storing genetic information.

<h3>Functions of DNA</h3>

DNA refers to deoxyribonucleic acid.

It is a biomolecule found in the cells of virtually all living organisms. The molecule helps to store hereditary information.

DNA helps preserve traits across generations by the ability to replicate itself. Successive generations inherit copies of DNA through a complex process of gene expression.

Answer:

<em>DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. To carry out these functions, DNA sequences must be converted into messages that can be used to produce proteins, which are the complex molecules that do most of the work in our bodies.</em>

Two atoms are isotopes of the same element. Which of the following should be the same for these two atoms? A. The number of mole
brilliants [131]

The answer is option B. The number of protons

If two atoms are isotopes of the same element then the number of protons in those two atoms must be same but the number of neutrons must not be same. If number of neutrons of an atom vary but number of protons in them are same then it simply means that they both are isotopes of a particular element. As we know that every atom has a nucleus which has protons and neutrons and due to these protons and neutrons an atom has weight. Apart from that, an atom has electrons too but they are outside the nucleus. Electrons are extremely light in weight so they do not contribute towards weight but they have a great role in chemical reactions. During chemical reactions, it is electron which directly participates, while proton and neutrons do not take part or move during chemical reactions. Also, in a neutral atom number of protons is equal to number of electrons but when an atom becomes negatively or positively charged, it can gain or loose electrons so electrons have tendency to vary. That is why we cannot consider electrons to be always same for isotopes of an element. It is clear that for an isotope, the number of electrons and neutrons will vary but the number of protons will always be fixed.

Are the genes in the daughter cells produced by mitosis the same as or different from the genes in the original cell? Explain ho
nydimaria [60]
They will be the same, because in mitosis the chromosomes are replicated exactly. In short, the chromosomes become short and thick, are then pulled apart, so you end up with two pairs of chromosomes, then cytokinesis splits the cytoplasm in to two separate ones, creating the daughter cells
