Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

For inheritance of traits

Solution :

The correct option is: For inheritance of traits

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) contains all the genetic information required for the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of living organisms.
During reproduction, the creation of DNA copies (DNA replication) ensures that this genetic information is accurately passed down from parent organisms to their offspring.

Because DNA carries the genetic code that determines the specific body design, features, and characteristics of an organism, copying DNA is essential for the transmission or inheritance of these traits to the next generation.
