Question

DNA is unique in that it has

• A. Nitrogen bases
• B. Ability to withstand heat
• C. Ability to replicate
• D. Ability for replication and transcription

Answer 1

The correct option is D Ability for replication and transcription

DNA is genetic material found in the living cell. It helps to carry characters from one generation to the other. The process by which the DNA replicated and forms another DNA molecule is known as replication. Parent strand of the DNA strand act as a template for synthesis of another DNA molecule.

Transcription is the process by which DNA is converted into RNA. The enzyme RNA polymerase plays an important role in transcription. The sequence of the nitrogenous base on the DNA acts as a template and determines the sequence of the nitrogenous base on the m-RNA.

So, the correct answer is option D.
