Which statement best describes the role of DNA in relation to RNA and proteins?

Answer 1

DNA stores the genetic memory of an entity.

RNA transports that memory to where it needs to go.

Answer 2

You can look at DNA as a book with all the codes that build a person. And RNA is a copy of a page or one code that creates proteins which makes the specific cell do its job.

for example: A blood cell produces different proteins than, lets say hair cells because they have different jobs that call for different proteins.

Answer 3

If we look at the "central dogma" of Biology: DNA ¨ RNA ¨ Protein, it is clear that the DNA molecule (that keeps the "information" in its double-stranded conformation) produces an RNA molecule (a single strand molecule) in the event known as "transcription". This RNA molecule is "translated" into a protein (during the translation event) in order to give a biological response. In resume, the RNA molecule is the single-stranded molecule composed by a sequence of nucleotides, that comes from the DNA molecule, and is translated into a protein.

Answer 4

DNA contains the genetic information that is transcribed into RNA. This RNA then serves as a template for protein synthesis through translation. Proteins perform various functions within the cell based on the instructions coded in the DNA.

Answer 5

b. protiens are made from rna, which is created from dna
