DNA!

What organelle stores DNA in eukaryotic cells?

• The ribosome

• The cell membrane

• The cytoplasm

• The nucleus

What is a chromosome?

• A package of DNA; it helps keep DNA safe

What is the function of nucleic acids like DNA?

• They give you long term energy.

• They give you short term energy.

• They store genetic information.

• They speed up chemical reactions.

All the cells in your body have the same DNA. Why do some look different and have different functions?

• Because their DNA has been extremely mutated.

• Because only certain genes are being expressed.

• All cells look the same and have the same function. This is a trick question.

A species of jellyfish contains a gene that codes for glowing protein. This gene was inserted into other organisms. What do you predict will happen?

• The organisms will express this new gene for glowing protein because they all share the common genetic code.

• The organisms will die because they cannot use DNA from other organisms.

• The DNA will be broken down into a protein. That can glow.
