Question

Cells store genetic information in DNA. That genetic information is used to synthesize _______. A) genes B) carbohydrates C) polysaccharides D) proteins

Answer 1

The correct answer is proteins. Proteins are made by stringing together a bunch of amino acids in a specific order, mandated by the RNA strands, which were originally transcribed by the DNA in the cell nucleus.

Answer 2

The answer is D) proteins

Cells store genetic information ( DNA) in their nucleus. The genetic information needs to be replicated(to make sure is not lost), transcripted to mRNA and then translated into proteins.

It's in the ribosomes (the cell's protein synthesis factory) that the mRNA is translated into amino acids that when joined together will form a protein.
If in any time of these process is not correctly done, the protein may not be functional.
