Question

question 6 of 25
which statement describes dna?
a. it is made up of long chains of rna that are translated into proteins.
b. it is used as a template for rna, which is then translated to form proteins.
c. it is used as a template for proteins, which are then translated into rna.
d. it is made up of long chains of amino acids that are transcribed into rna.

Explanation:

DNA is transcribed into RNA (mRNA). The mRNA is then translated into proteins. DNA is made of nucleotides (not RNA or amino acids). Proteins are made from mRNA translation (not DNA being a template for proteins directly). So, option B is correct.

Answer:

B. It is used as a template for RNA, which is then translated to form proteins.
