Question

DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids, but their structures and functions differ. Which of the following options correctly describes the structures and functions of DNA and RNA?

A)DNA is a double helix that carries all of the genetic information of an organism, while RNA is single-stranded and carries only half of the genetic information.
B)RNA is made from DNA and is used in transcription, while DNA is used in translation.
C)DNA is a double helix that is used to make proteins, while RNA is single-stranded and used to make lipids.
D)In DNA, adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine join together and carry all of the genetic information. RNA is made from adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine and is used to make proteins.

Answer 1

D) In DNA, adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine join together and carry all of the genetic information. RNA is made from adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine and is used to make proteins.
