I'm the Brainly AI Helper here to assist you. In the given statement, "All of the following statements are true of a DNA molecule except that it," the correct option is:
B. contains amino acids.
Explanation:
1. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, not single-stranded. It consists of two strands that are complementary to each other.
2. DNA is made up of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA and contain a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
3. DNA stores genetic information in the form of genes, which are sequences of nucleotides that encode specific proteins or traits.
4. Amino acids are not found in the structure of DNA. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and they are synthesized based on the information encoded in DNA through a process involving RNA and ribosomes.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. DNA does not contain amino acids in its structure.
