Supposes a small town has a library with a few thousand book. If more people move into town, the town will get larger. There will be more people borrowing books, amd sometimes people may have to wait to borrow popular titles. Similarly, a larger cell would have to make greater demands on its available genetic "library." In time, the cell's DNA would no longer be able to serve its increasing needs of the growing cell.

A cell's DNA is like books in a library because it contains information that is organized and stored in a specific location. Just like books are arranged on shelves and can be accessed individually, the DNA in a cell is organized into chromosomes and can be accessed by the cell's machinery to read and interpret the genetic instructions.

What is a cDNA library used for?
A cDNA library is used for complementary DNA. These DNA are collected as host cells, which can be found in the nucleus. Currently, cDNA libraries are lacking in the enhancer, intron, and several other categories.
What did the pus have in it that held the DNA?
DNA is contained in the cell nucleus, a d pus is made from White Blood Cells.
What four things are common to all cells?
cell membrane, DNA, ribosomes, and cytoplasm
How do UV-B rays affect people?
UV light (particularly UV-B and UV-C, which are regions of the spectrum with shorter wavelengths than the UV-A part) can cause skin cancer. It does this because the DNA molecules in your body absorb UV light, and the light has enough energy to break bonds in the DNA, causing harmful rearrangements in your genetic code. When cells with damaged DNA reproduce, that can result in cancerous cells. See more details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet
How is cell's DNA like the books in the library?
Cell's are constructed and branched into smaller categories like a library

A collection of host cells that house different cloned fragments of DNA?
gene library
How is DNA like a city?
DNA(chromatin) is like a library because it stores all of our genetic imformation of different genes.
What is a collection of cells containing DNA fragments produced by restriction enzymes and incorporated into plasmids?
A DNA LibraryA collection of cells containing DNA fragments produced by restriction enzymes and incorporated into plasmids is called a DNA library. RNA can manufacture DNA via the action of reverse transcriptase.
What is a cDNA library used for?
A cDNA library is used for complementary DNA. These DNA are collected as host cells, which can be found in the nucleus. Currently, cDNA libraries are lacking in the enhancer, intron, and several other categories.
Which cells have DNA as their genetic material?
Haploid cells like sperm cells,ova,bacteria
If a cell was a town what would be the chromosomes?
It would closest resemble either a library, or an external data storage. The chromosomes are made out of strands of DNA. The DNA is like Wiki Answers, or a how to book. It hold instructions for the cells reproduction.
What is a collection of cells containing DNA fragments produced by restriction enzymes and incorporated into plasmids called?
A DNA LibraryA collection of cells containing DNA fragments produced by restriction enzymes and incorporated into plasmids is called a DNA library. RNA can manufacture DNA via the action of reverse transcriptase.
Pieces of DNA stored in yeast cells are called?
The circular DNA molecules that can be found in bacteria are called plasmids. Plasmids are a separate DNA molecule that can replicate independently of chromosomal DNA. Plasmids are commonly used in Biology classes to teach students about splicing.
How is DNA like a secret code?
It's not. It your cells.
Do flowers have DNA?
Yes, they do, almost all living cells (maybe only one or two exceptions, like red blood cells) contain DNA.
