Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The following are part of the information-storage molecule of a cell except:
A
Uracil
B
DNA
C
RNA
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic Acids DNA is located in the nucleus of the cell. DNA is the storage form of genetic information.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA stores biological information in sequences of four bases of nucleic acid-adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G)-which are strung along ribbons of sugar-phosphate molecules in the shape of a double helix.

Detailed explanation-3: -Uracil is one of four nitrogen bases, most frequently found in normal RNA. Uracyl can be found also in DNA as a result of enzymatic or non-enzymatic deamination of cytosine as well as misincorporation of dUMP instead of dTMP during DNA replication.

Detailed explanation-4: -RNA is often compared to a copy from a reference book, or a template, because it carries the same information as its DNA template but is not used for long-term storage. Each ribonucleotide base consists of a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
