Transmission of Genetic Information in Nucleic Acids…

Transmission of Genetic Information in Nucleic Acids:
(i) DNA serves as the repository of genetic information in all living organisms. It contains the instructions necessary for the development, growth, and functioning of an organism.
(ii) Genetic information is encoded in the sequence of nucleotides along the DNA molecule, with each sequence representing a specific gene that codes for a protein or a functional RNA molecule.
