Question

what can studying extracted dna tell us about an organism? it can reveal exactly what the organism looks like. it can reveal exactly where the organism lives. it can reveal genetic information about the organism. it can reveal exactly what the organism eats.

Explanation:

• DNA contains the genetic code of an organism. Studying extracted DNA primarily gives insights into the genetic information (like genes, alleles, hereditary traits).
• DNA alone can't reveal exact appearance (as appearance is also influenced by environment and gene expression regulation), exact habitat (habitat is an environmental factor, not directly encoded in DNA), or exact diet (diet is related to environmental interactions and behavior, not directly in DNA). So the correct option is the one about revealing genetic information.

Answer:

It can reveal genetic information about the organism.
