Answer:

The correct answer is option A) "Sequence of bases".

Explanation:

Even though DNA most of the time is comprised entirely of only four different nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, guanosine and citosine), it is the sequence of these bases that allows DNA to carry a vast amount of hereditary information. The genes that carry the hereditary information are translated according to the sequence of the DNA bases. The information is translated by triplets of bases (codons) that correspond to different amino acids that are added to new synthesized proteins during translation.

What is the primary function of chloroplasts?
galina1969 [7]
The primary function of the chloroplasts in a plant is to convert light from the sun into glucose and energy in a process that is known as photosynthesis. This energy is then used by the plant cells for incredibly important functions such as growth and repair, so the chloroplasts are amongst the most necessary parts of any plant.
