DNA . is a long, single chain of nucleotides
cannot determine behavior traits
contains coded information for the creation of proteins
is enclosed by a nuclear membrane in prokaryotes

The correct answer would be "contains coded information for the creation of proteins".

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a polymer of nucleotides.

It is the genetic material in most of the living cells present on earth. That is, it controls all the characters and traits of the living organisms.

In prokaryotes, it keeps floating in the cytoplasm whereas it is confined in the well-defined nucleus in eukaryotic cells.

The nucleotide sequence of the DNA is used as the code for the synthesis of the proteins.

It is first transcribed into the nucleotide sequence of mRNA which is further decoded into the amino acid sequence of the proteins.

im gonna compare the cells to jobs in factory. give brainliest

job in the factory //       cell organelle   //  

shipping/receiving

department                 plasma membrane    

chief executive officer// nucleus

factory floor // cytoplasm

assembly line// endoplasmic reticulum

workers in the assembly line //ribosomes

finishing/packaging department //golgi apparatus

maintenance crew //lysosomes

support beams (walls, ceilings, floors) //cytoskeleton

power plant //mitochondria/chloroplasts

here's what each part of the cell does:

plasma membrane :

regulates what enters and leaves the cell; where cell makes contact with the external environment

nucleus :

controls all cell activity; determines what proteins will be made

cytoplasm :

contains the organelles; site of most cell activity

endoplasmic reticulum:

where ribosomes do their work

ribosomes :

build the proteins

golgi apparatus :

prepares proteins for use or export

lysosomes :

responsible for breaking down and absorbing materials taken in by the cell

cytoskeleton :

maintains cell shape

mitochondria/chloroplasts :

transforms one form of energy into another
