Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which best describes the relationship between DNA and proteins?
A
DNA contains nucleotides and codes to sequence amino acids, which in turn make proteins.
B
DNA and proteins have the same structure and function together to make carbohydrates.
C
DNA and proteins are nucleic acids that function together to maintain oxygen in the respiratory system.
D
DNA and proteins are made of polymers that function in controlling substances entering the cell membrane.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic Code: The sequence of nucleotides, coded in triplets (codons) along the mRNA, that determines the sequence of amino acids in protein synthesis. A gene’s DNA sequence can be used to predict the mRNA sequence, and the genetic code can in turn be used to predict the amino acid sequence.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA is made up of proteins, which tell a cell how to function. Proteins are made up of DNA, which determines the cells that are produced. Cells contain DNA, which controls the production of proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -The genetic materials in a cell, whether DNA or RNA, contain the instructions on how to assemble proteins from amino acids. The latter are organic compounds that have an amino functional group (−NH+3), a carboxylate (−CO−2) functional group, and a side chain, which uniquely identifies each type.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
