What does DNA store?

Answer 1

The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints or a recipe, or a code, since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells, such as proteins and RNA molecules. The DNA segments that carry this genetic information are called genes, but other DNA sequences have structural purposes, or are involved in regulating the use of this genetic information.

Answer 2

DNA consisted of sugar phosphate backbone to which four nitrogenous bases are attached which are Adenine, guanine, cytocine and thymine.

A DNA molecule has several nucleotides in it and each nucleotide has sugar phosphat backbone to which four nitogenous bases are attached with Adenine combine with thymine via two H-bonds and guanine combine with cytocine via three H-bonds forming twisted ladder like structure of DNA molecule.

Answer 3

DNA stores genetic information that determines an organism's traits and functions. It carries instructions for making proteins, which are essential for the structure and function of cells in an organism. DNA is passed from parent to offspring and carries the hereditary information that dictates an individual's characteristics.

Answer 4

DNA, found in each cell, stores all the hereditary information of the body that the cell came from, be it an Ant, a Human or a Zebra.
DNA stores hereditary information

Answer 5

DNA molecules contain the genetic material of a cell. The DNA in a single human cell contain millions of of nucleotides and are about 2 meters long.

Answer 6

genetic information
