Your Answer:
1. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid): possesses the genetic material in a cell and contains
the hereditary characterisitics
2. RNA (ribonucleic acid): decodes the sequence of hereditary infonmation found in
DNA
While both DNA and RNA can be found in the nucleus (center of the cell), only
RNA is capable of leaving the nucleus. DNA contains a vast amount of hereditary
information and is responsible for the inheritable characteristics of living
organisms. RNA is responsible for deciphering the hereditary information in DNA
and using it to synthesize proteins.
