Actually life is not just "highly" organized. Nothing else comes close to it in organizational complexity. The sun is a large thing, but it is an uncomplicated thing compared to even the simplest organism. Consider that you have about 100 trillion cells in your body and that, with some exceptions, each of these cells has in it a complement of DNA that is made up of chemical building blocks. How
many building blocks? Three billion of them. Now, you probably know that most cells divide regularly, one cell becoming two, the two becoming four, and so on. Each time this happens, each of the 3 billion DNA building blocks must be faithfully copied, so that both of the cells resulting from cell division will have their own complete copy of DNA. And this copying of the molecule—before anything is actually done with it—is carried out in almost all the varieties of the 100 trillion cells we have. Complex indeed.
The purpose of the paragraph is
a. to analyze how DNA is copied from one cell to another but is not 100% accurate.
b. to inform the reader of the complexity of life by explaining the copying of molecules.
c. to inform the reader that each person has their own DNA.
The tone of the paragraph is
a. informative. b. analytical. c. persuasive.
