- In the new paradigm, biology is a science based on three levels of molecular information: Biology is a science of information: starting from discovery of DNA and the genetic code, now biologists study how that information is stored, how it is used, and how it evolves. Biologists can take advantage of the same molecular tools to analyze different biological systems, comparing and contrasting the details of information storage and processing that information. Level 1. genetic information is encoded in DNA. Level 2. Biological information is embodied in proteins. What is Level 3? _______________________________ Give your explanation. ____________________________________arrow_forwardGenomes are the shared genetic information among all living cells on Earth. the sum of genetic information in a cell. usually made of RNA. only found in animal and plant cells. made of proteins.arrow_forwardTransposable elements, or jumping genes, are DNA elements that move within the genome. In which organisms are transposons found? Group of answer choices bacteria ancient bacteria all organisms mammals eukaryotesarrow_forward
- What significance does the relative size of exons and introns have for the evolution of genes and of gene function?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not true with respect to DNA? a. A nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all modern living organisms. b. The helix geometry of DNA is of B-Form. DNA is completely protected by the body, i.e., the body destroys enzymes that cleave DNA. DNA can be damaged by exposure to Ultra-violet rays. c. The pairing of bases: A-T (Adenine-Thymine), G-C (Guanine-Cytosine) d. Consists of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate backbone, four bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. e. None of the abovearrow_forwardWatson and Crick used scientific reasoning, their knowledge of biochemistry, and the research of other scientists to make one of the most important scientific claims of their time: DNA is a double helix with strands running in opposite directions. Between these strands, A pairs with T, and C pairs with G.arrow_forward

If they were to find a living creature some place other than Earth, how could DNA analysis help them better understand the organism? Explain in 1-2 sentences.
