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.
