I. Function of Nucleic Acids
A. Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid or DNA is the molecule that contains the code or _________for traits and
other proteins. DNA has the instructions or "recipe" for making each individual organism,

the next generation.
B. A _________________is a specific segment of DNA, located in a chromosome that codes for a
single hereditary trait. Each of the 46 chromosomes in humans contain 100's to 1000’s of
genes.
C. Ribonucleic Acid or RNA help to make ______________ from the instructions in DNA.
