Help !!A student examines a picture of an important biological molecule in a textbook and writes four statements about the molecule in a chart 1. The molecule is found in the nucleus,
2. The molecule is made up of chromosomes.
3. The molecule carries genetic information.
4. The molecule contains genes.
Which statement needs to be revised to make it true? statement 1 statement 2 statement 3 statement 4

Statement 2 (The molecule is made up of chromosomes)

Explanation:

This question is describing DNA, as the biological molecule. DNA is a type of nucleic acid that functions in the storage of genetic information in the cell. This means that contained in the DNA, are segments that code for proteins called GENES. It is contained in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells where it is wrapped around structures called CHROMOSOMES.

BASED on the four statements given by the student, which happens to be characteristics of this molecule, the statement 2, which states that the molecule is made up of chromosomes needs to be revised to make it true. This is because DNA is not made up of chromosomes but rather DNA is contained in chromosomes.
