store and transmit genetic information and use that information to direct the synthesis of new protein. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the permanent storage place for genetic information in the nucleus of a cell. DNA controls the synthesis of RNA (ribonucleic acid). RNA transmits genetic information from DNA to the protein synthesizers in the cell. RNA is also responsible for directing the production of the new protein by transmitting the genetic information to the protein building structures. The nucleotide ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is closely related to DNA and RNA, is the short-term energy storage for all life processes. The function of the sequence of bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine) in the backbone of DNA determine what proteins are being synthesized and in what order (note that in RNA, thymine is replaced of RNA (ribonucleic acid).

The function of the sequence of bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine) in the backbone of DNA determine what proteins are being synthesized and in what order (note that in RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil). (Di Giuseppe , M.) The function of the double helix formation of DNA molecules is to ensure that no disorders occur if genetic information is lost or damaged. Examples of disorders related to damaged or lost genetic information are Downs Syndrome and Sickle Cell Anemia. (Kotz, J.) tions of Nucleic Acids
