Answer:
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the principle genetic material of living beings.
DNA is composed of a phosphate backbone, nitrogen bases (purine and pyrimidine) and a deoxyribose sugar.
DNA contains genetic information and each of one strand from parents are inherited in a child.
Hence the genetic information is carried forward from one generation to another.
RNA is made from DNA by the process of transcription and translation that helps in the formation of proteins and amino acids.
