Why am I, the DNA important inside a cell?


In this week´s science class we were divided into three groups of several people, after this each of us were given a organelle to represent inside the cell, for example, I got to be the DNA of a cell for one short day. After we were each given a role to play, all the groups were put into the same complicated situation: All the organelles were inside a boat and due to “overweight” the boat captain based on ours one minute speeches had to decide who would be through out of the boat and who would stay.
Since I was given the DNA, I first decided to do some research about it and which other organelles it “worked with”. I found out many useful information, read it all and put the main and most important points into my speech, which follows:
I am important inside the cell since I contain all the genetic information, in other words when two cells reproduce the DNA molecule divides and the new cell will have a mixture of both DNA´s. I, the DNA define “who” the cell is, it´s genetic code, for instance: colour, size, format or shape and others. So basically the DNA is what makes the cell what it is. The genetic information made by me is transported all over the cell by the RNA. I also command the protein production and the RNA who transports information to the Ribosome, who is the producer of proteins and only produces the protein according to the information sent by me.

  1. I liked your speech about the DNA because you explained the role in details. Also, it was very interesting that you connected your job with other organelles.
