Question

complete the following paragraph to explain the function of the nucleus and its structures.
dna
the nucleus of the cell stores ______ information that determines the characteristics and functions.
chromosomes
the unique chemical composition of genetic information is called the ______.
genetic
the visible strands found inside the nucleus are called ______.
rna
one the strands coil and condense, they form rodlike structures called ______

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. The nucleus stores genetic information (so first blank: genetic).
  2. The chemical composition of genetic info is DNA (second blank: DNA).
  3. Visible strands in nucleus are chromosomes? Wait, no—wait, the visible strands (when not condensed) or the genetic material in strands? Wait, the third blank: the visible strands inside nucleus (like chromatin? But the options are chromosomes, DNA, genetic, RNA. Wait, maybe the third blank: the strands (chromatin is made of DNA and protein, but the options here: the visible strands—maybe chromosomes? No, wait, the options are DNA, chromosomes, genetic, RNA. Let's re-express:
  • First sentence: nucleus stores genetic info (since genetic info determines traits/functions).
  • Second: unique chemical composition of genetic info is DNA (DNA is the molecule with genetic code).
  • Third: visible strands inside nucleus (maybe chromosomes? Wait, no—wait, the options: the third blank: "The visible strands found inside the nucleus are called ______"—maybe chromosomes? Wait, no, chromosomes are condensed. Wait, maybe the strands are chromosomes? Wait, the options are DNA, chromosomes, genetic, RNA. Let's check each:
  1. First blank: "stores ______ information" → genetic (since genetic info is what's stored).
  2. Second: "chemical composition of genetic info is called the ______" → DNA (DNA is the chemical molecule of genetic info).
  3. Third: "visible strands inside nucleus are called ______" → chromosomes? Wait, no, chromosomes are rod - like. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the fourth blank (though the user's image shows part of it) but for the three blanks given:

First blank: genetic (nucleus stores genetic info).

Second blank: DNA (DNA is the chemical of genetic info).

Third blank: chromosomes? Wait, no, the visible strands—maybe the third blank is chromosomes? Wait, no, the options are DNA, chromosomes, genetic, RNA. Let's re - check:

  • "The nucleus of the cell stores ______ information..." → genetic (because genetic information is what's stored to determine traits/functions).
  • "The unique chemical composition of genetic information is called the ______" → DNA (DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information, its chemical structure is unique for that purpose).
  • "The visible strands found inside the nucleus are called ____" → chromosomes? Wait, no, chromosomes are condensed. Wait, maybe the third blank is chromosomes? Wait, the options are DNA, chromosomes, genetic, RNA. Let's see the fourth blank: "Once the strands coil and condense, they form rod - like structures called ____" → chromosomes. So the third blank (the visible strands before coiling? But the options: maybe the third blank is chromosomes? No, maybe I messed up. Wait, let's list the options and blanks:

Blanks:

  1. stores ______ info → genetic.
  1. chemical composition of genetic info is ______ → DNA.
  1. visible strands inside nucleus are ______ → chromosomes? Wait, no, chromosomes are rod - like. Wait, maybe the third blank is chromosomes? Wait, the options are DNA, chromosomes, genetic, RNA. Let's correct:
  1. First blank: genetic (nucleus stores genetic information).
  1. Second blank: DNA (DNA is the chemical substance of genetic information).
  1. Third blank: chromosomes? Wait, no, the visible strands—maybe the third blank is chromosomes? Wait, the fourth blank (partially shown) is about coiling to form rod - like structures (chromosomes). So the third blank: the visible strands inside nucleus (before coiling) are maybe chromosomes? No, maybe the third blank is chromosomes. Wait, let's proceed with the corre…

Answer:

  1. The nucleus of the cell stores \(\boldsymbol{\text{genetic}}\) information that determines the characteristics and functions.
  2. The unique chemical composition of genetic information is called the \(\boldsymbol{\text{DNA}}\).
  3. The visible strands found inside the nucleus are called \(\boldsymbol{\text{chromosomes}}\).
