Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the primary molecule that carries the genetic information for most organisms. It is made up of four different nucleotide bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine), which combine in specific sequences to code for specific genetic traits. Genes (B) are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for making specific proteins, while chromosomes (C) are structures made up of DNA and protein that contain many genes. Amine (D) refers to a class of organic compounds that are not directly related to genetic material.
