Why is DNA called the blueprint for life? A. It has the code to make carbohydrates. B. It stands for Director of New Activities. C. It has directions for making membranes. D. It contains the genetic material for living things on earth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think it might be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im really not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are there any that you can say are NOT right?

maybe d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! that is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks i have more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of these is a major function of RNA? A. to make ribosomes B. to transport genetic information C. to make nucleic acids D. to direct activities in the cell

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have a guess?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite. DNA is the genetic material in ever cell. whenever something new is needed in the cell or the cell reproduces the DNA is used. RNA is DNA helper you could say. hope this helps.

Here's a general overview of DNA. DNA codes for RNA. RNA codes for nucleic acids(proteins). The atcg letters are a specific code for the substance being made. Just like the order of directions in cooking matters, so do these letters. Furthermore, when DNA's genetic info is being copied to the RNA, the t is replaced with a u. Hope that serves as a little refresher!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's D!(:
