Answer: Used for containing genetic and development information
Explanation: DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, contains genetic information (genes) used in forming the chromosomes of an organism as well as long term information on how to carry out functions in the organism.
The main role of DNA in the cell is the long-term storage of information. The major function of DNA is to encode the sequence of amino acid residues in proteins, using the genetic code. To read the genetic code, cells make a copy of a stretch of DNA in the nucleic acid RNA.
