• DNA

• RNA

• Monosaccharides

• Amino Acids

The monomers (building blocks) of DNA and RNA are...

DNA is referred to as the blueprint of life because it contains the instructions needed to make proteins. True or False?

• True

• False

Does DNA contain the instructions needed to make enzymes?

• Yes because DNA contains the code to make proteins. Enzymes are proteins.
