DNA is considered the molecule of life because it contains the instructions that ensure the continuity of life. Employment of DNA to code for protein is the basis of all life on earth. 

In all living things, inherited DNA  is used to code for amino acids  which when joined or linked together in a deliberate specific  manner form polypeptides which make up proteins. These proteins are responsible for  structure and function of cells. 

For example DNA provides information to make  four polypeptide (two beta and two alpha ) chains  which make up hemoglobin, the protein that functions as the oxygen carrier in red blood cells. In summary,

DNA → protein →  trait, and that relationship is the physical basis of life.

sergey [27]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Units of weight and volume won't be large enough to be meaningful. so liters and grams are too small. Find out the weight of a cubic meter of water and then estimate how many cubic meters there might be in a lake. Millions would probably be too small.

Miles are too big. Most lakes do not go to a depth of 1 mile, but you on on the right track. Distance is what you want.

Meters are the answer.
