Solution

  • DNA stores genetic information as a codon and transfers the genetic information into RNA.
  • RNA codes for amino acids (protein) that carry out cell functions.
  • The proteins affect the functioning of nucleic acids by binding with DNA or RNA which controls the gene expression in both the processes of RNA synthesis (transcription) and protein synthesis (translation).
