Describe the structure of a Dna molecule? This backbone carries four types of molecules called bases and it is the sequence of these four bases that encodes information. The major function of DNA is to encode the sequence of amino acid residues in proteins, using the genetic code. To read the genetic code, cells make a copy of a stretch of DNA in the nucleic acid RNA. These RNA copies can then used to direct protein synthesis, but they can also be used directly as parts of ribosomes or spliceosomes.
