Section C (multiple-answer questions)

​Nucleic acids are essential for life, storing and transmitting the genetic information that defines every organism. Composed of nucleotide subunits, they form the basis of DNA and RNA, which control heredity and direct cellular functions. Their precise structure allows accurate replication and the synthesis of proteins vital for growth and survival. This test will assess your understanding of nucleic acids’ structure, the roles of DNA and RNA, and how these molecules ensure genetic continuity and expression.
