A
Proteins
B
Lipids
C
Enzymes
D
RNA
Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that DNA is the molecule that contains the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses.
Recognize that DNA stores information in the form of genes, which are sequences of nucleotides that encode the synthesis of proteins and RNA.
Recall that proteins are synthesized through the processes of transcription and translation, where DNA is transcribed into RNA, and RNA is translated into proteins.
Identify that enzymes are a type of protein, and since DNA encodes proteins, it also indirectly encodes enzymes.
Note that lipids are not synthesized directly from DNA instructions. Instead, they are synthesized through metabolic pathways that involve enzymes, which are encoded by DNA, but the lipids themselves are not directly encoded by DNA.
