5. Why is RNA necessary to act as a messenger? Why can't the code be taken directly from the DNA? How do some cells become brain cells and others become skin cells, when the DNA in ALL the cells is exactly the same? In other words, if the instructions are exactly the same, how does one cell become a brain cell and another a skin cell?

Answer 1

Answer: One cell can divide into two new cells. This is called mitosis. The process of cell division goes through various stages. First the cell nucleus divides into two. A new cell surface membrane then severs the cell divides. The two new cells are called daughter cells and they are small. They will grow larger. they grow by getting nutrients from the food that is eaten. Once they grow to full size they can also reproduce or divide. If cells divide more quickly than they should, or divide in the wrong way, diseases may develop.

5. it has the ability to turn off genes. a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides into two new cells which are called daughter cells.
