Question
Write the functions of DNA.
Answer in Brief
Solution
- All cellular processes are regulated and controlled by DNA.
- When the cell divides, it replicates and is dispersed equally to the daughter cells.
- It is a genetic information carrier.
- Heterocatalytic function: DNA controls the creation of chemical compounds that are not the same as itself. For example, RNA synthesis (transcription), protein synthesis (translation), and so on.
- DNA has an autocatalytic activity, which means that it directs the synthesis of DNA. Consider replication.
- DNA is a cell's master molecule that begins, guides, regulates, and controls the protein production process.
