What is described as a long polymer of nucleotides a polynucleotide)that encodes the sequence of the amino acid residues in proteins using the genetic code,a triplet code of nucleotides?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA is a long polymer of nucleotides that encodes the sequence of amino acid residues in proteins using a triplet code of nucleotides, which is commonly known as the genetic code. RNA is also a polynucleotide that plays a role in protein synthesis but it is not the best answer as it only carries genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized. PNA and NNA are not commonly used biological molecules for encoding genetic information.
