Question
Chapter 13.2, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), and proteins are crucial factors for cellular structure and function. The genetic information present in DNA is transferred to protein molecules. DNA and RNA are comprised of nitrogenous bases and are known as genetic material. The genetic material stores entire genetic information of the organism, which is heritable to subsequent generations.
