The liver of a dog has been found to have higher than normal cell death because the DNA is damaged. What part of the cell failed to do its job of protecting the DNA of the cell?

Question

Question 4 options:

A)

Chromosomes

B)

Nucleolus

C)

Nuclear envelope

D)

Ribosomes

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) Nuclear envelope.

The nuclear envelope serves as a barrier that helps protect the DNA within the nucleus of the cell from damage and provides a controlled environment for DNA replication and repair. If the nuclear envelope fails, the DNA may be more susceptible to damage, leading to increased cell death. Chromosomes, nucleolus, and ribosomes do not primarily serve the function of protecting DNA.
