What is the role of DNA in transmitting genetic information? Describe DNA’s important genetic role in a few sentences below.
DNA stores and transmits genetic information from parents to offspring. Sections of DNA called genes code for specific traits, and DNA provides the blueprint for proteins that perform many roles in the body. Each person inherits half of their DNA from each parent, so their traits are a combination of their parents’ traits.
