Which of the following represents the correct order of organization of an animal’s body?
- a. Cells; organs; organ systems; tissues
- b. Cells; tissues; organ systems; organs
- c. Tissues; cells; organs; organ systems
- d. Cells; tissues: organs; organ systems

Introduction:
The biologists describe the animal body in terms of an organizational hierarchy. A cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life. Most animals comprised of tissues. Tissues are the groups of specialized cells that interact and provide a specific function. The two or more interacting tissues form an organ that function as a unit and if two or more organs are physically or functionally joined then it leads to the formation of organ system.
Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
The correct order of organization of an animal’s body is cells; tissues; organs; organs system. Therefore, option (d) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
In the organization of human body, the group of cells forms tissues, two or more tissues form organ, and grouping of organs ultimately form the organ system.
Option (d) is given as “cells; tissues; organs; organ systems”
As “the correct order of an animal’s body organization is cells; tissues; organs; organ systems” is the right answer.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
Reason for the incorrect statements:
Option (a), is given as “cells; organs; organ systems; tissues”.
It is not the correct order of organization of an animal’s body as the group of cells form tissues not the organs. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (b), is given as “cells; tissues; organs systems; organs”.
It is also not the correct order of organization of an animal’s body as the group of two or more tissues forms an organ not the organ system. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (c), is given as “tissues; cells; organs; organ systems”.
It is not the order of animal body organizational hierarchy as the group of cells form tissue not the tissues from cells. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.
Therefore, the correct order of organization of an animal’s body is cells; tissues; organs; organ systems.

- Molecular Biology A-C components of the question are corresponding to attached image labeled 1. D component of the question is corresponding to attached image labeled 2. For a eukaryotic mRNA, the sequences is as follows where AUGrepresents the start codon, the yellow is the Kozak sequence and (XXX) just represents any codonfor an amino acid (no stop codons here). G-cap and polyA tail are not shown A. How long is the peptide produced?B. What is the function (a sentence) of the UAA highlighted in blue?C. If the sequence highlighted in blue were changed from UAA to UAG, how would that affecttranslation? D. (1) The sequence highlighted in yellow above is moved to a new position indicated below. Howwould that affect translation? (2) How long would be the protein produced from this new mRNA? Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question Explain why the cell doesn’t need 61 tRNAs (one for each codon). Please help. Thank youarrow_forwardMolecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB. If you were to do gene therapy to fix this problem, briefly explain what type of gene therapy youwould use to correct this. Please help. Thank youarrow_forward
