DNA is a polymer because it is made of up of monomers of nucleotides that differ from each other by their bases. (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine.)
DNA constantly undergoes changes. It interacts with proteins that are able to replicate and transcribe it to generate a copy of RNA. Inactive sites are changed to active sites and active sites are silenced. DNA can therefore be considered an active polymer

DNA
DNA is the only polymer in that list. The other 3 options are all individual subunits that could be made into a polymer. Amino acids are the monomers (individual subunits) that up DNA and RNA
means it's an enzyme - so it catalyzes a chemical reaction polymer- means it catalyzes the formation of a polymer DNA- means the polymer whose formation it catalyzes is DNA - DNA is a polynucleotide (a polymer of nucleotides, a million nucleotides strung together)
An organic polymer.
A nucleotide is a single structural unit of DNA. If two or more nucleotides are combined together by a polymerase enzyme, the resulting molecule is a polymer. RNA is also composed of nucleotides and can be formed into polymers.
Polymer: DNA, Monomer: nucleotides Polymer: Proteins, Monomer: amino acids Polymer: Polysaccharides, Monomer: monosaccharides
Everett is the DON!
yes
it is one of the polymer family which makes it a polymer
