Question
Chapter 7, Problem 11WIO
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The functions of DNA and proteins in plants.
Introduction:
All living things include DNA, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid, which contains information about their structure and function. Almost all living things that function have comparable processes. DNA is present in the cell's nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts throughout the plant kingdom. All of the chemical compounds found in plants, including DNA, have their own special characteristics. Every type of living organism has the same structure and function. Self-replication is the process by which DNA creates an identical copy of itself.

- BELL JAR EXPERIMENT In the early 1770s, Joseph Priestley conducted a series of experiments that led to the discovery of the intimate relationship between plant and animal life. In his principal experiment, Priestley placed a mouse within a sealed jar and observed it to eventually perish (a and b). When repeated with sprigs of mint within the jar, neither did the mouse die “nor was it at all inconvenient to a mouse” (c and d). He had made the breakthrough that plants produce a substance which is life-giving to animals and then went on to describe it “dephlogisticated air”, which, thanks to the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, soon became known as “oxygen”.arrow_forwardGive points to why Pro Nature is better at Genetic engineering to make insect-resistant plants?arrow_forwardThe picture shows the different stages in the life of a pea plant.
