The DNA content in a cell is measured in picograms (pg).

- A sea star cell has \(\frac{17}{20}\) pg of DNA.
- A scallop cell has \(\frac{19}{20}\) pg.
- A red water mite cell has 0.19 pg.
- A mosquito cell has 0.24 pg.

What is the largest and smallest DNA content among these cells?

This is not Biology, it's math. You have too do what you did on the other problems which is convert them all too decimals using a calculator. Make sure too write them down and them just find which number is more or less.
