What happens to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) during replication?

  1. It breaks down into amino acids

  2. It bonds to ribonucleic acid (RNA)

  3. It is copied and passed on to the offspring

  4. It undergoes transcription

The correct answer is: It is copied and passed on to the offspring

DNA does not break down into amino acids because it is not a protein. DNA does not bond to RNA during replication, as RNA is only involved in transcription and translation processes. During replication, DNA is copied and the new copies are passed on to the offspring. This process does not involve transcription, which is the conversion of DNA into RNA. Therefore, option C is the only correct answer.
