An organic compound that provides instructions for the synthesis or production of polypeptide chains is referred to as which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question specifically mentions "instructions for the synthesis or production of polypeptide chains," which is the function of DNA. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA, but they do not provide instructions for protein synthesis. Lipids are not involved in protein synthesis at all, and ATP is a molecule involved in energy metabolism, not protein synthesis.
