DNA. DNA (or deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that carries the genetic information in all cellular forms of life and some viruses.

Three different types of RNA exist, mRNA or messenger RNA, tRNA or transfer RNA, and rRNA or ribosomal RNA. Protein Synthesis Cells store and use coded information. The genetic information stored in DNA is used to direct the synthesis of the thousands of proteins that each cell requires.The chemical and structural properties of DNA are the basis for how the genetic information that underlies heredity.DNA is encoded in the sequence of nitrogenous bases which directs the formation of proteins in the cell.he chemical and structural properties of DNA are the basis for how the genetic information that underlies heredity.
