Detailed explanation-1: -Answer c. The sequence of DNA bases is arranged into genes, most of which contain the instructions to build a protein. DNA stores information in the sequence of its bases. The information is grouped into genes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Duplication of the genetic information occurs by the use of one DNA strand as a template for formation of a complementary strand. The genetic information stored in an organism’s DNA contains the instructions for all the proteins the organism will ever synthesize. In eucaryotes, DNA is contained in the cell nucleus.
Detailed explanation-3: -The function of DNA is to store all of the genetic information that an organism needs to develop, function, and reproduce. Essentially, it is the biological instruction manual found in each of your cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -DNA now has three distinct functions-genetics, immunological, and structural-that are widely disparate and variously dependent on the sugar phosphate backbone and the bases.
