Question

question 1 - 1
dna is a nucleic acid that consists of thousands of smaller, repeating units called nucleotides. which function do nucleic acids serve because of strong genetic information?

• directing the synthesis of proteins
• providing structural support for organisms
• regulating homeostasis in cell membranes
• catalyzing chemical reactions in the cytoplasm

Explanation:

DNA stores genetic information and is involved in directing protein - synthesis. Proteins are synthesized based on the information encoded in DNA through transcription and translation processes. The other options are functions of other cellular components. For example, providing structural support for organisms is more related to structural proteins or cell - wall components in some cells; regulating homeostasis in cell membranes is related to membrane proteins and ion channels; and catalyzing chemical reactions in the cytoplasm is the function of enzymes.

Answer:

A. directing the synthesis of proteins
