Question 2 • 26-27 Ignite Health Science Concepts - EL3602

Which of following statements are true? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
A nucleotide is a chain of DNA molecules.
B
DNA is a chain of nucleotides.
C
Nucleotides act as “letters” in the genetic code.
D
DNA molecules act as “letters” in the genetic code.

Explanation

DNA is made of a long chain of nucleotides, so statement B is true. The order of the nucleotides carries genetic information, much like letters form words, so statement C is also true. A nucleotide is not a chain of DNA molecules, and DNA molecules themselves are not the individual “letters” of the genetic code.
