1. explain how the samples containing dna might have acquired living cells.

strawberry a
peas
chocolate made from the cacao seed, which comes from a tree
corn starch and corn syrup come from vegetables
made from egg cells with dna present
cows shed a lot of cells during milking
comes from a plant; this is already composed of living cells and is considered a living organism
gummy candy
egg white contains gelatin which is made from animal byproducts
milk g

Explanation:

Match each item to the reason it has living/DNA-containing cells based on its origin:

1. Strawberry: It is a whole plant organism made of living cells.
2. Peas: Peas are plant seeds, which are living plant structures made of cells.
3. Chocolate: It is produced from cacao seeds, which come from a cacao tree (plant source).
4. Gummy candy: Most gummy candies contain gelatin, an animal byproduct that carries DNA from animal cells.
5. Egg white: Egg white is part of an egg, which originates from egg cells that contain DNA.
6. Milk: During milking, cows shed epithelial cells that remain in the milk.
