I WONDER - What Job Does DNA Do?

The video explains the role of genetic information as the blueprint of life, detailing how genes instruct cells to produce proteins. These proteins are crucial for cell growth and survival, executing specific instructions to ensure proper development and function.

What is the primary role of genetic information in our bodies?

• To hold instructions for body development and function

• To eliminate waste from the body

• To provide energy for cellular processes

• To create new cells

Where is genetic information primarily located within the body?

• In the digestive system

• In the brain

• In the bloodstream

• Inside the cells

What is the function of a gene within a cell?

• To instruct the cell to make a specific protein

• To transport nutrients

• To store energy

• To protect the cell from viruses

How do proteins contribute to cellular activities?

• They store genetic information

• They act as a barrier against toxins

• They perform specific instructions for growth and survival

• They provide structural support to the cell

What happens to proteins once they are produced by the cell?

• They are used to perform specific tasks

• They are stored for future use

• They are converted into energy

• They are expelled from the cell
