Pre-lab questions.

1. Why do strawberry cells need DNA?
2. If you observe a cell nucleus under a compound microscope, you will not see a molecule of DNA. Why will you be able to see the DNA you extract.
3. Use what you know about DNA to predict some of the physical properties of DNA.
4. How could you determine what percentage of a strawberry's mass is DNA?

1.To break down the cell wall, cellular and nuclear membranes.

2.In a cell, nucleus can be seen by a simple compound microscope, while DNA molecules cannot be seen under a compound microscope. This is because, DNA molecules are too small and these molecules are dispersed in nucleus in less compact state.

3.In living organisms such as humans, DNA exists as a pair of molecules rather than a single molecule. These strands are entwined in the shape of a double helix and the helix is kept stable by hydrogen bonds, which can be found between the bases attached to the two strands

4.Filter the materials suspended in the substrate to isolate the strands of DNA. Use imaging tools to find the exact mass of the DNA. Divide that mass by the mass of the strawberry piece and multiply by 100% to get the percentage of the strawberry's mass that is DNA.

Explanation:

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
