DNA is a set of instructions for proteins and proteins are the building blocks of your body.If some DNA is missing or not in the right order (a mutation) a protein may be made wrong or not made at all.That protein could be very important such as insulin which leads to Diabetes or a protein receptor on a cell may be the wrong shape like in cystic fibrosis.These mutations are not totally disasterous, however a big chunk of DNA gone missing will most likely result in that embryo not surviving.

What statement is correct regarding the cells and DNA?
all the cells have identical DNA
Is there a cell in humans that don't have DNA?
No. Not all cells have a nucleus, which contains nuclear DNA; but all cells have mitochondria, which have their own DNA, called mitochondrial DNA, or mDNA. In humans, the cells that lack a nucleus and therefore nuclear DNA, are mature red blood cells, but they do have mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA.
What are DNA cells made of?
DNA is not a cell type. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is inside of almost all cells, in the nucleus. It holds the genetic information for the cell.
What cells carry DNA?
The main cells in your body that contain DNA and RNA are your skin cells. This is because skin cells hold more then the DNA to skin. The DNA in skin also tells a person's eye color, height, hair color and bone structure. RNA in any cell is used to transfer any messages from one cell to another.
All cells have DNA. The DNA of a cell can be found in the?
nucleus of the cell.
When does the cell need to copy the DNA-?
DNA ultimately controls all the cell's functions, so it is necessary to have it in all your cells. Every time your cells divide so that you can grow or repair your body, the DNA needs to duplicate so that it can be in each of your cells.
What statement is correct regarding the cells and DNA?
all the cells have identical DNA
What types of cells contain RNA and DNA?
Genetic cells
Which cells have DNA as their genetic material?
Haploid cells like sperm cells,ova,bacteria
Is there DNA in a cell?
No cells are not part of DNA. nucleotide bases make up DNA.
Is there a cell in humans that don't have DNA?
No. Not all cells have a nucleus, which contains nuclear DNA; but all cells have mitochondria, which have their own DNA, called mitochondrial DNA, or mDNA. In humans, the cells that lack a nucleus and therefore nuclear DNA, are mature red blood cells, but they do have mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA.
Why do you have DNA in your cells?
You have DNA in your cell because you need DNA to be some one and you should have DNA in your nucleus
In what ways are cells similar?
All cells have DNA
When do cells need to copy their DNA?
because it need to form then them
Out of bacterial cells animal cells and plant cells which contain DNA?
Bacterial cells, animal cells, and plant cells all have DNA. DNA contains information for the cell on how to perform tasks. In plant and animal cells, DNA is contained in a nucleus, unlike bacterial cells where DNA is contained in a nucleoid.Hope this helped
If you took the entire DNA from all of your cells and uncoiled it it would?
