Question

which statement best describes the role of dna? it provides a form of energy for cells. it transmits genetic information to the next generation. it directly forms proteins. it speeds up chemical reactions inside of cells.

Explanation:

DNA is the genetic material. It stores and transmits genetic information from one generation to the next. It does not directly provide energy for cells (that's ATP), does not directly form proteins (RNA is involved in protein - synthesis process), and does not speed up chemical reactions (enzymes do that).

Answer:

It transmits genetic information to the next generation.
