How does DNA control a cell's structure and function?

Answer 1

DNA is the brains of the cell and tells it what to do, much like the human brain controls the function of the body.

There is no actual "control". The arrangement of proteins on the gene determine how a cell is structured and what it does.

Answer 2

The deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA, found within the nucleus of the cell is responsible for controlling the human genetic traits as well as traits in all living things. The DNA controls the A,T,G,C strands which are primarily the DNA's bitches. The DNA keeps them tight on a leash and they get the whip whenever they step out of line. The DNA is also quick to bust a cap in any intruders which try to invade their cell. This is how the DNA controls the cells.

Answer 3

The DNA in the chromosomes specifies how to make every protein used in the cell (proteins do the work of living things) and specifies the conditional enabling/disabling of its own genes (analogous to the decision making tests in a computer program).

Answer 4

DNA controls cell functions by controlling protein synthesis. The proteins that are synthesized according to the DNA code function to control and regulate all aspects of the cell's activities.

Answer 5

DNA contains the instructions for making proteins, which are essential for a cell's structure and function. Different genes are activated or repressed in response to various signals, influencing which proteins are produced and thus determining the cell's behavior and characteristics. This process of gene expression allows DNA to regulate a cell's structure and function.

Answer 6

DNA Controls the genes. It gives an example of what the genes in that person are/look like.

Answer 7

DNA is the brains of the cell and tells it what to do, much like the human brain controls the function of the body.

Answer 8

DNA controls the activities of cells by regulating the order of amino acids in protein molecules.
