Question

what are three tasks that dna must be able to perform in all organisms? select three answer choices a. it must store genetic information. b. it must discard foreign genes. c. it must instruct cells to produce needed molecules. d. it must copy itself. e. it must move to locations throughout the cell.

Explanation:

DNA's core functions across all organisms include storing genetic information to maintain hereditary traits, self-replication to pass genetic material to new cells/offspring, and gene expression to direct the production of proteins/molecules cells need. Discarding foreign genes and moving freely through the cell are not universal, required tasks for DNA.

Answer:

A. It must store genetic information.
C. It must instruct cells to produce needed molecules.
D. It must copy itself.
