Question

8 dna exists in the body part it controls, but not in other places in the body. 9 chromosomes are divided up at each cell division. so, when a single body cell forms 2 body cells, the new cells each contain fewer chromosomes than the original cell

Explanation:

1. For statement 8: Almost all somatic (body) cells in an organism contain the full set of the organism's DNA, regardless of the body part. DNA is not restricted only to the body part it controls; for example, a skin cell has the same DNA as a liver cell, even though they perform different functions.
2. For statement 9: In mitosis (the cell division process for body cells), chromosomes are replicated and then evenly divided between the two new cells. This means the new body cells have the same number of chromosomes as the original parent cell, not fewer.

Answer:

1. Statement 8: False
2. Statement 9: False
