Here are the answers to the questions provided:

1. **What is the final product of gene transcription and translation?**
- **Proteins**

2. **Which of the following is a correct difference between DNA and RNA?**
- **DNA is double stranded, RNA is single stranded**
- (Note: The option may seem misleading; DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose and RNA contains ribose. DNA contains thymine, and RNA contains uracil. Ensure to verify the provided options.)

3. **If a DNA strand with the following sequence was transcribed to RNA, what would be the resulting strand?**
- **UGC AUC GGU**
- (Transcription converts the DNA sequence to RNA by replacing thymine (T) with uracil (U). The DNA sequence ACG TAG CCA would yield UGC AUC GGU in RNA.)

4. **Codons are triplets of DNA or RNA. If an RNA codon is CGA, what amino acid does it code for?**
- **Arg**
- (CGA codes for Arginine in the genetic code.)

5. **What could be a possible con/negative outcome of genetically modified organisms?**
- **Accidental damage to genes of wild organisms**
- (Genetically modified organisms can potentially outcompete natural species or hybridize with them, leading to unintended ecological consequences.)
