DNA makes a good molecule for storing imformation because a. its bases can be joined together in any order, like the letters of the alphabet can be strung to form different words b. each nucleotide withing a DNA strand can give a cell different information, and there are many nucleotides in every cell c. it can absorb uvltraviolet light, so DNA can help protect cells from the damaging effects of this form of radiation d. it is a typr of nucleic acid, and most acids are an important part of information storage within cells
Its more than likely B. The nucleotides of each ribosomal strand in DNA offer a template so that the mRNA can make sure that the new forming DNA strand is correctly built. Kinda make sense?
Though remember, only one strand is going to be used which is the 3'-5' prime strand, not 5'-3'
i think each nucleotide does convey different information, but the first answer is more correct, because it's about the order in which these are arranged that forms the specific sequences needed. eg. specific amino acid sequences for protein tertiary and quaternary structures.
