Detailed explanation-1: -The relationship between genetic information carried in DNA and proteins. The complete set of information in an organism’s DNA is called its genome, and it carries the information for all the proteins the organism will ever synthesize. (The term genome is also used to describe the DNA that carries this information.)

Detailed explanation-2: -The sequence of basis on the DNA molecule is what directs the sequence of amino acids in the protein molecule-that’s how it all links together! So, the sequence of bases in DNA codes for the sequence of amino acids of a protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chromosomes carry DNA in cells. DNA is responsible for building and maintaining your human structure. Genes are segments of your DNA, which give you physical characteristics that make you unique. Together, your body has a complete instruction manual that tells your cells how to behave.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA’s unique structure enables the molecule to copy itself during cell division. When a cell prepares to divide, the DNA helix splits down the middle and becomes two single strands. These single strands serve as templates for building two new, double-stranded DNA molecules-each a replica of the original DNA molecule.

Detailed explanation-5: -The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
