DNA and RNA serve what purpose within a cell and living things.

Biology
1 answer:
Lorico [155]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D. DNA Contains the genetic code / instructions for the cell and the living organism they build

Explanation:

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids that contain the genetic information so that a cell knows exactly what proteins it should make, what function it should serve.

Why not A: DNA and RNA don't strictly build cellular proteins; that job is up more to the ribosome, tRNA, and mRNA. While this could be acceptable, it's not as good an answer as D.

Why not B: This is incorrect.

Why not C: DNA and RNA don't do any of the dirty work of fighting off intruders; that's the job of the immune system, building antibodies, eating the viruses with white blood cells, and using the epidermis as a barrier to keep harmful things out.

What is a cells DNA like the books in a library
tino4ka555 [31]
Think of it this way:

DNA inside cells store all the genetic information on a person's looks, eye colour, hair colour etc. It makes them unique. The analogy of being like books in a library basically suggests that in a library there is so much information and every book is different with different knowledge... That's basically what DNA is; millions of different information things.
