Question 1 of 10
DNA is a type of nucleic acid that is responsible for storing
information and passing that information from a parent to
its offspring.
What aspect of DNA's structure makes it ideal for carrying out this role in an
organism?
OA. Its long, narrow shape, which helps it pack tightly with other DNA
molecules
B. Its hydrocarbon chains, which help the molecule repel harmful
substances
OC. Its highly branched structure, which helps the molecule store a lot
of energy in a compact space
D. Its double-stranded shape, which helps the molecule easily make
copies of itself
