Question

The type of molecule represented below is found in organisms.

Which statement correctly describes the sequence of bases found in this type of molecule?

A) It changes every time it replicates

B) It determines the characteristics that will be inherited

C) It is exactly the same in all organisms

D) It directly controls the synthesis of starch within a cell

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A and C are so incorrect. The reason why D is the correct answer is because DNA does not determine what gets inherited, just what gets added to the gene pool.

DNA does however control the synthesis of proteins by acting as instructions. Then these instructions are read and carried out by RNA to finally complete the process.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

B) It determines the characteristics that will be inherited

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecule is DNA (it has a double helix structure) which contains genetic information needed for every living organism.
