question 6 (multiple choice worth 3 points)
(01 02r mc)
dna and rna are both
made up of nucleotides and carry molecules from one end of a cell to another
monomers of protein molecules that provide structure to a cells nuclear membrane
protein molecules that carry the unique genetic information of an organism
molecules that contain genetic information and are made up of nucleotides
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides. DNA stores genetic information in most organisms, and RNA is involved in processes like protein synthesis (carrying information from DNA). They are not proteins (so options with "protein molecules" are wrong). Also, while some RNA can move within a cell (e.g., mRNA moves from nucleus to cytoplasm), the key unifying feature is that they are molecules with genetic information (in case of DNA all the time, in case of some viruses RNA) and made of nucleotides.
