DNA is a molecule that directly allows a living thing to:
A
move
B
store information
C
speak
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Answer and Explanation: The structural feature of DNA that allows it to store information is the bases. DNA is made of monomers called nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts, a sugar, a phosphate group and a base.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is genetic material that contains plans for the design of living things, but DNA can also be used to store data created by living things. DNA is an attractive material for data storage – it is stable, writable, readable, and information dense.

Detailed explanation-4: -What does DNA do? DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. To carry out these functions, DNA sequences must be converted into messages that can be used to produce proteins, which are the complex molecules that do most of the work in our bodies.
