Which statement below best summarizes the role of the dna molecule in cells?

DNA provides the instructions for making proteins.

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a macromolecule that contains the genetic information for the development and function of living organism. DNA is composed of 4 bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine) that form genes. Each gene has a specific sequence of bases that encode a protein. When DNA replicates and forms RNA (which has a complementary base sequence to the DNA that gave it its origin), this molecule is transferred to ribosomes, which are the organelles where protein synthesis takes place. Every three bases, a different amino acid is coded. Many amino acids together form a protein. So, the genetic code dictates which proteins are created according to the sequence of nucleotides in DNA genes. This is a direct connection between genes and traits, which is a characteristic determined by proteins.

yes? sounds right, but you didn’t ask a question.

answer: accepted answer: aquatic animals use the oxygen dissolved in water to carry out respiration. since the amount of dissolved oxygen in water is low as compared to the amount of oxygen in the air, therefore the rate of breathing in aquatic animals is much faster than it is in terrestrial animals.
