I believe the correct answer is upwelling. Lets say we have producers such as plankton. well upwelling currents bring dead matter from the ocean floor up to the surface, creating plankton.
You did not included your list of selections. Some general properties ascribed to DNA are storage and expression of information and variables through mutations. Replication, Transcription, Translation and Mutagenesis are the major functions of DNA in a cell. DNA nucleotides contain deoxyribose. DNA is double-stranded in the conservative mode, the original double Helix remains a complete unit and the new DNA double Helix is produced as a single unit. In the double=stranded DNA, Hydrogen bonds hold one complimentary strand to the other.
Hope this helps, I love Science.
