Question 2
In cellular information flow, genetic information starts in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The process of transcription transfers DNA information to RNA, and then translation uses the RNA information to build a protein (since RNA, specifically mRNA, is used to synthesize proteins).
In DNA, the base pairing rule is adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T). In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil (U), so adenine pairs with uracil (U) in RNA.
The process that produces mRNA is transcription, where DNA is used as a template to make mRNA. But among the given options, if we have to choose the closest related molecule (though not the process), DNA is the template for mRNA production. Adenine is a base, amino acids are for proteins, chromosome is a DNA - protein complex, cytosine is a base, guanine is a base, mRNA is the product, nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids. So if we consider the molecule that is the template for mRNA production, it's DNA.
