DNA codes for all of the proteins in the cell. Proteins are used as many things within the cell, including signalling molecules which communicate between different parts of the cell, and enzymes, which can adjust the length of structural molecules which keep the cells shape.
The shape of the cell is also determined by physical constraints such as outside pressure, the surface area/volume ration, and how fast molecules can diffuse into the centre of the cell.

How can you determine the kind of organism a cell belongs to?
by studying the cell's DNA
What does DNA determine in a cell?
The molecules of DNA contain the genetic info that determines the structure of a cell and the way it functions.
How did Watson and crick determine shapes of DNA?
it makes it do it by the shape in a microscope
What major component of a typical animal cell determines the structure and function of the body?
The DNA located in the nucleus and found as chromosomes determine the shape and function on any living organism.
What shape does DNA take in a cell that lacks a nucleus a?
a tight chain
What 2 parts of a bacterium determine its shape?
cell wall and DNA
What two parts of a bacterium determine its shape?
cell wall and DNA because bacteria don't have a cytoskeleton
How does DNA determine a protein's shape?
DNA determines a protein's shape by determining the sequence of the amino acids in a protein.
How can you determine the kind of organism a cell belongs to?
by studying the cell's DNA
What bras help form breasts?
No bras form a breast. The shape of your breast comes from your DNA. You can help your breast by using a good supporting bra, but it doesn't determine size or shape.
Comparing Cells - size and shape relate to what?
The cells size and shape relate to its function.
Does a cell increase in size and usually makes copies for its DNA?
True.When a cells size increases,it can't transfer enough nutrients throughout the cell if the cell size is big.So it makes copies of its DNA

What shape does DNA take in a cell that lack a nucleus?
circle
What shape does DNA in a cell that lacks a nucleus?
a tight chain
Is it true that a cell's size increases its amount of DNA also increases?
Yes, The larger a cell becomes, the more demands the cell places on its DNA. In addition, a larger cell is less efficient in moving nutrients and waste materials across the cell membrane. Hope this helped! (:
