Molecular Basis Of Inheritance Practice Test

DNA stores the instructions for building RNA.

DNA RNA Proteins Lipids

Correct Answer:

RNA

Explanation:

The main idea here is how genetic information is organized and used in the cell. DNA contains the genetic information and serves as the template to produce RNA in a process called transcription. That RNA then carries the instructions to the ribosome to assemble proteins. So, the instructions for building RNA come from DNA, not from RNA itself. RNA’s role is to convey that information from DNA and guide protein synthesis, rather than storing the code to make itself. Therefore, the statement should point to DNA as the source of the instructions for building RNA.
