ADN

DNA transmits genetic information essential for organism development and function. Its double-helix structure, discovered by Francis Crick and James Watson in 1953, is a polymer made of nucleotides. DNA is organized in pairs within the helix, enabling it to code for proteins and replicate itself.

What is the primary role of genetic information in organisms?

• To determine development and function

• To transmit energy

• To provide nutrients

• To create new species

Who were the scientists that made the DNA double-helix structure public?

• Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei

• Francis Crick and James Watson

• Marie Curie and Louis Pasteur

• Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr

In what year was the DNA double-helix structure revealed?

• 1970

• 1953

• 1961

• 1945

What are the simpler blocks that make up DNA called?

• Amino acids

• Nucleotides

• Carbohydrates

• Lipids

What is one of the key functions of DNA within the double helix?

• To code for proteins

• To store fats

• To conduct electricity

• To produce light
