Well, what do we know of DNA? Is is a protein? Can we remove some but not all of the answers? Let me know what you think it is, and we can work until you have a complete understanding and can answer the question @LollipopTARDIS

Thank you :)

Well, can remove a couple?

no, I don't think

Okay, well it is not a protein. Is it a sugar? Hint: ribose, glucose, mannose, maltose, fructose.... Is it ribose or deoxyribose? Hint: DNA does stand for something...

I should have said, "Does it have a sugar?" Not "Is it a sugar."
