What will be an ideal response?


DNA is replicated and passed to offspring through a variety of reproductive processes. Information contained in the base sequences of DNA is transcribed into a variety of RNAs. Certain RNAs (tRNA) carry amino acids to the site of translation where proteins are assembled. Other RNAs (mRNA and rRNA) provide a mechanism for ordering the sequence of amino acids in proteins.
