Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Enzymes are smaller in size than DNA molecules. We know this because DNA contains genetic information for the developmentand functioning of all living organisms. It contains instructions for the synthesis of proteins and DNA molecules. ON the other hand, enzymes are proteins which are synthesised from a small stretch of DNA known as 'genes', which are involved int he production of the polypeptide chain.
