Worksheet time: 6mins
Identify where DNA is located in the cell.
Golgi apparatus
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Rough ER
DNA has the shape of a:
Double helix
Single strand
Circle
Square
The function of DNA is:
To store genetic information
To provide energy for the cell
To transport oxygen in the blood
To break down nutrients
DNA is like a blueprint for your cells because it:
Provides instructions for building and operating the cell
Stores energy for the cell
Protects the cell from viruses
Helps the cell move
If there is an error in the way the bases are set up, what might happen?
The genetic code may be read incorrectly, leading to mutations.
The DNA will become stronger.
The cell will divide faster.
No changes will occur.
