Answer:
<em>it is double-stranded in cells and most DNA viruses </em>- DNA
<em>the nitrogen-containing bases are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T)
</em> - DNA
<em>it functions by determining the heredity of trait</em> - DNA
<em>the pentose sugar is deoxyribose</em> - DNA
<em>it is double-stranded in cells and most DNA viruses</em>
- DNA
Explanation:
-it is double-stranded in cells and most DNA viruses
-the nitrogen-containing bases are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T)
-it functions by determining the heredity of trait
-the pentose sugar is deoxyribose

<em>The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a double stranded molecule that has been found to be responsible for heredity of traits. It is characterized by 3 main components:</em>
- A phosphate group
- A deoxyribose sugar
- Purine and or pyrimidine bases
The purine bases include Adenine and Guanine while the pyrimidine bases include Thymine and Cytosine.
<em>The DNA differs from RNA in that the RNA (ribonucleic acid) is single stranded, contains ribose sugar and instead of Thymine base, it contains Uracil.</em>
