When a molecule of DNA coils up, it is called a ____________, which contains different codes for different proteins. Each protein causes/creates a ______, which is a characteristic of an organism. For example, hair color is a trait that results from a protein that is produced by cells based on the codes in DNA.
"The different cells in your body rarely have genomes with the identical nucleotide sequence" is true or false.
Which statement best describes the manner in which the genetic information is used inside cells? Group of answer choices DNA is converted to RNA, which is then converted to protein. Ribosomes make proteins by randomly linking amino acids together. DNA acts as a messenger. It binds to a ribosome and provides instructions for making protein. Sections of DNA are copied into RNA molecules which serve as the instructions for making proteins.
In 2005, researcher Woo-suk Hwang reported that he had made immortal stem cells from human patients. His research was hailed as a breakthrough for people affected by degenerative diseases, because stem cells may be used to repair a persons own damaged tissues. Hwang published his results in a peer-reviewed journal. In 2006, the journal retracted his paper after other scientists discovered that Hwangs group had faked their data. Does the incident show that results of scientific studies cannot be trusted? Or does it confirm the usefulness of a scientific approach, because other scientists discovered and exposed the fraud?
True or false? Some humans are genetically modified.
