Answer:
DNA is an information molecule.
Explanation:
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF DNA?
DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid.
- It allows the body to tell it how to make larger proteins.
- It contains 46 chromosomes.
- Chromosomes are 1 strand of DNA. (Imagine your hair. Your whole head of hair is like DNA, if you were to pull out 1 string of hair, it would be a chromosome.)
WHY IS IT KNOWN AS A HERITABLE MATERIAL?
It is known as a heritable material because your parents pass their genes onto you.
(If you cut your 1 strand of hair (chromosomes) into pieces then it would be a gene.)
Part of your fathers genes and mothers genes join to make up your DNA by passing on their genes to you.
