Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA molecules encode hereditary information.

Answer: F 
 DNA molecules participate in protein synthesis as they code for the sequence of amino acids in proteins.

Answer: E
 DNA molecules synthesize subunits that will be assembled into two-part ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

Answer: I 
 DNA molecules help distribute chromosomes to the new cells during cell division.

Note: The other answer choices are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the function or role of DNA molecules.
