An artistic rendition of a DNA double helix structure in the background. In the foreground, display a variety of animals such as a lion, a bird, and a fish, to represent the variety of organisms with DNA. Alongside, illustrate symbols of lungs and gills indicating respiration methods among vertebrates. Further, include the image of a starfish and a snail distinctively showing their characteristic features, signifying their inclusion in invertebrates. Make sure the image clearly demonstrates these elements without any textual clues.

drphilswaitlist is right!
- have a nice day 💗

drphilswaitlist is 100% correct

"have a nice day 💗" is correct.

also i am having a nice day. fsa scared me though

To answer the first question about DNA, we need to evaluate each statement.

Statement 1: "All animals have DNA." This statement is true. DNA is the genetic material present in all living organisms, including animals.

Statement 2: "DNA is too similar to use for grouping organisms." This statement is false. DNA is commonly used for grouping organisms and determining their evolutionary relationships. DNA sequences can provide valuable information about the relatedness of different species.

Statement 3: "DNA is a protein." This statement is false. DNA is a nucleic acid, not a protein. Proteins are composed of amino acids, while DNA consists of nucleotides.

Statement 4: "Proteins signal the cells to make DNA." This statement is false. Proteins do not directly signal cells to make DNA. DNA acts as the template for the synthesis of proteins through a process called transcription and translation.

Therefore, the correct statement about DNA is: "All animals have DNA."

Moving to the second question about shared characteristics among vertebrates.

Statement 1: "Eat with teeth." This characteristic is common among vertebrates. Vertebrates have specialized structures like teeth for acquiring and consuming food.

Statement 2: "Breathe with lungs or gills." This characteristic is common among vertebrates. Vertebrates have respiratory organs such as lungs or gills for obtaining oxygen from the environment.

Statement 3: "Supported by an exoskeleton." This characteristic is not common among vertebrates. Vertebrates have an internal skeleton composed of bone or cartilage.

Statement 4: "Make own food." This characteristic is not common among vertebrates. Vertebrates are heterotrophs, meaning they obtain their food from external sources rather than producing it themselves.

Therefore, the correct characteristic common among vertebrates is: "Eat with teeth."

Lastly, the question about shared characteristics between a starfish and snail.

Statement 1: "Both are invertebrates." This statement is true. Both starfish and snails are invertebrates, meaning they do not possess a backbone.

Statement 2: "Both are mollusks." This statement is false. Starfish belong to the phylum Echinodermata, while snails belong to the phylum Mollusca. They are not classified under the same group.

Statement 3: "Both are echinoderms." This statement is false. Only starfish (also known as sea stars) belong to the phylum Echinodermata. Snails belong to the phylum Mollusca.

Statement 4: "Both are the same size." This statement is not relevant to determining common characteristics between starfish and snails.

Therefore, the correct characteristic shared by starfish and snail is: "Both are invertebrates."
