Explanation

Question 12 of 32

1

What does DNA do every time a cell divides?

Select one of the following:

  • Adds another strand.

  • Adds another "base" called O.

Explanation

Question 16 of 32

1

A section of DNA that codes for a particular proteins is called a...

Select one of the following:

  • Enzyme.

  • Nucleus.

Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 19 of 32

1

If each protein has its own particular number and order of amino acids, does this give the proteins a different shape or a different function?

  • False

Explanation

Question 22 of 32

1

So, why does each gene contain a different sequence of bases?

Select one of the following:
