Correct choices: It is a nucleic acid; It is found in DNA; It is used to build an organism’s structures; It allows parents and their young to have similar characteristics.
Brief notes:
- The genetic code is carried by nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and specifically found in DNA (and conveyed via RNA during expression).
- The code directs synthesis of proteins and other molecules that build and maintain an organism’s structures.
- Because DNA is inherited, the genetic code is the basis for shared characteristics between parents and offspring.
The statements "It is a protein" and "It is found in the cell membrane" are incorrect.
