What are the main functions of DNA and RNA in the human body?
DNA has separate functions: genetics, immunology, and structure. All of which is dependent on the sugar-phosphate backbone and bases in different ways. Genetic information is encoded via the nucleotide sequence along the backbone. Replication, encoding information, mutation/recombination, and gene expression are the four functions of DNA. RNA: Make it easier for DNA to be translated into proteins. In protein production, it acts as an adaptor molecule. It acts as a messenger between the DNA and the ribosomes. In all living cells, RNA is the carrier of genetic information.
