DNA is a type of nucleic acid that is responsible for storing

information and passing that information from a parent to
its offspring.


What aspect of DNA's structure makes it ideal for carrying out this role in an
organism?


OA. Its hydrocarbon chains, which help the molecule repel harmful
substances
OB. Its long, narrow shape, which helps it pack tightly with other DNA
molecules
OC. Its four different nitrogen bases, which are connected in long
chains to form specific patterns
OD. Its highly branched structure, which helps the molecule store a lot
of energy in a compact space
