Question

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

Explanation:

DNA is the molecule that stores genetic information. During reproduction, it transmits this genetic information to the next - generation. It does not directly form proteins (that's the role of translation process starting from mRNA), does not speed up chemical reactions inside cells (enzymes do that), and does not provide a form of energy for cells (ATP does that).

Answer:

It transmits genetic information to the next generation.
