Verified Answer :

how inherited characteristics are passed from one generation to the next

Oseni

One of the characteristics of DNA is that it represents a molecule through which characteristics are passed down from one generation to the next.

Generally, the essential features of DNAs include:

  • it consists of 2 polynucleotide chains twisted about one another to form a double helix structure.
  • the two chains are linked together by hydrogen bonds
  • it consists of sugar-phosphate backbones
  • It is responsible for the storage and transmission of hereditary information across generations.

From the above, one would see that all the options do not describe the DNA except that it is how inherited characteristics are passed from one generation to the next.
