What is the abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid?
A
RNA
B
DOA
C
DNA
D
DBN
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -More Information. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) (National Human Genome Research Institute)

Detailed explanation-2: -More Information. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) (National Human Genome Research Institute)

Detailed explanation-3: -Each gene’s code uses the four nucleotide bases of DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T)-in various ways to spell out three-letter “codons” that specify which amino acid is needed at each position within a protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are perhaps the most important molecules in cell biology, responsible for the storage and reading of genetic information that underpins all life.

Detailed explanation-5: -The term “deoxy” refers to the fact that there is no oxygen attached to the 2’ carbon atom. There is a molecule that is similar to DNA but has an oxygen atom at this position. Its sugar is therefore called ribose and its name is ribonucleic acid or RNA.
