The molecule represented below is found in living things. Which statement describes one characteristic of this molecule?

1.

It is the template for the replication of genetic information.

2.

Organic catalysts are made up of these molecules.

3.

It is different in each cell of an organism.

4.

Cell membranes contain many of these molecules.

The diagram of the molecule is attached with the answer.

The correct answer is - 1. It is the template for the replication of genetic information.

Explanation:

The given molecule is a DNA molecule that is known as the molecule that takes genetic instructions in all living things and carries them to the next generation of cells.

The DNA molecule has two strands known as double helix formed by winding around one another, backbone of each strand has sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups.

DNA plays a role of the template for the replication of the genetic information during DNA replication as well as transcription during protein synthesis.

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of  amino acids  , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in  genes  . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called  transcription  ), and the mrna is transported to the  ribosome  . protein synthesis, also called  translation  , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the  nucleotides  of mrna three by three, in units called  codons  , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the  amino acid  chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
