Question

Which statement about nucleic acids is true? Check all that apply. Nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information. The nucleic acid DNA is the blueprint for life. DNA holds the instructions for all structures and functions of an organism. The nucleic acid RNA “reads” the instructions from DNA to construct proteins

Answer 1

Answer: All the given statements are correct for the nucleic acid.

Nucleic acid includes DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA ( ribonucleic acid).

The nucleic acid DNA stores and transmit the genetic information in the form of nucleotide sequences. It is the blueprint of all life forms as it contains information for the growth, survival and reproduction of the life forms.

The nucleic acid RNA reads the instructions from DNA in order to synthesize proteins. In this way, genetic information is transferred from DNA to RNA to proteins.

Thus, all statements are correct for the nucleic acid.

Answer 2

Nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information.

The nucleic acid DNA is the blueprint for life.

DNA holds the instructions for all structures and functions of an organism.

The nucleic acid RNA “reads” the instructions from DNA to construct proteins
