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.
