What guides the production of a multi-celled organism?
A) the sequence of nucleotide bases in DNA
B) the sequence of amino acids in a protein
C) the sequence of fatty acids in a triglyceride
D) the sequence of nucleotides in RNA
E) the sequence of monosaccharides in a polysaccharide

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence of nucleotide bases in DNA contains the genetic information that guides the production and development of a multi-celled organism. This information directs the synthesis of specific proteins and ultimately determines the organism's phenotype. RNA is involved in the process of protein synthesis, but it is the DNA sequence that ultimately guides the production of a multi-celled organism. Choices B, C, and E are not relevant to the production and development of multi-celled organisms.
