Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement below BEST summarizes the tole of the DNA molecule in cells?
A
guides cell division.
B
protects cells from infection.
C
provides the instructions for making proteins.
D
regulates the chemical processes that provide the cell with energy.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Statement C) provides the instructions for making proteins best summarizes the role of the DNA molecule in cells. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the primary genetic material of all living organisms. It carries the genetic information (sequence of nitrogen bases) that directs the cell to produce a polypeptide chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following best summarizes the role of DNA in protein synthesis? DNA contains the genetic code that determines the amino acid sequence of proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -The molecule inside cells that contains the genetic information responsible for the development and function of an organism. DNA molecules allow this information to be passed from one generation to the next.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which statement best describes the relationship that exists among proteins, DNA, and cells? Cells contain DNA, which controls the production of proteins.
