Question

which statements are true? check all that apply. in eukaryotes, dna is found in the cytoplasm of the cell. rna is the nucleic acid that helps build proteins. dna is the nucleic acid that carries genetic information. the structure of proteins is determined by dna. a chromosome is made of rna. done

Explanation:

• For "In eukaryotes, DNA is found in the cytoplasm of the cell": In eukaryotes, DNA is mainly in the nucleus, not cytoplasm, so this is false.
• For "RNA is the nucleic acid that helps build proteins": RNA (like mRNA, tRNA, rRNA) is involved in protein synthesis, so this is true.
• For "DNA is the nucleic acid that carries genetic information": DNA is the primary carrier of genetic info, so this is true.
• For "The structure of proteins is determined by DNA": DNA codes for RNA which codes for amino acid sequence (protein structure), so this is true.
• For "A chromosome is made of RNA": Chromosomes are made of DNA and proteins, not RNA, so this is false.

Answer:

• RNA is the nucleic acid that helps build proteins.
• DNA is the nucleic acid that carries genetic information.
• The structure of proteins is determined by DNA.
