Question

Which statement describes a DNA but not RNA?

it is involved in making proteins.

it carries genetic information

it has four types of nitrogenous bases.

it never moves out of the nucleus.

Answer 1

DNA does not move out of the nucleus

Answer 2

Option). it never moves out of the nucleus.

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, made up of sugar, nitrogen bases, and phosphate groups. Both DNA and RNA are involved in the process of protein synthesis as information present in DNA is first transferred to RNA (transcription) and from RNA to protein (translation).

Generally DNA acts as genetic material in all living organisms, but in some viruses, RNA acts as genetic material. Both DNA and RNA have four types of nitrogenous bases.

DNA never comes out of the nucleus, but during protein synthesis RNA comes out from the nucleus as in eukaryotes, RNA is synthesized in nucleus, while translation takes place in cytosol.

Thus, the correct answer is fourth option.
