| What happens when a piece of DNA is missing? | genetic information is lost |
| The table in figure 12.3 shows the results of the percentages of several different organisms. Some are missing, the chicken DNA should be around ___. | 20 |
| Cytosine should be what? | 40 and 40 |
| Dna makes a good molecule for storing information because ___. | its bases can be joined together in any order like the letters of the alphabet can be strung to form different words |
