Answer:

It transmits genetic information to the next generation

Explanation:

DNA does not speed up chemical reactions inside the cells. That's the enzyme's job.

DNA does not directly form proteins. Amino acids form proteins

It does not provide a form of energy to the cells. Energy is produced in the cell when a phosphate from ATP is broken to from ADP.

Hence, we have only one option left. It transmits genetic information to the next generation. This is true as DNA contains genetic information and plays a major role in the characteristics of an organism.

Hope this helped!!!

Answer:

It transmits genetic information to the next generation

Explanation:

DNA stores information on how the cell should be made and ‘run’. This is why it is critical that its integrity is well preserved. Otherwise, mutations on DNA can be lethal to the cell. In higher cells, DNA is protected in the nucleolus. To pass down the genetic information, DNA is replicated by DNA polymerases and then during cell division, either copy of the pair goes to each of the two daughter cells.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correlation between sea surface temperature and water vapor is that both are driven by seasonal changes. They both increase in the hemisphere during summer. Seasonal changes in water vapor are, however, more evident across the land, largely due to changes in land surface temperature.
