Question
One of the functions of the DNA is to: a. secrete vacuoles b. make copies of itself c. join amino acids to each other d. carry genetic information out of the nucleus
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
One of the primary functions of DNA is replication – making copies of itself. This is essential for passing genetic information to daughter cells during cell division. Carrying information out of the nucleus is the job of mRNA. Joining amino acids is done by ribosomes.
Hint
It needs to duplicate itself before a cell divides.
