Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The genetic material in cells is called ____
A
RNA
B
Gene
C
DNA
D
Neuclotide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Today, we know that DNA is the genetic material: the molecule that bears genes, is passed from parents to children, and provides instructions for the growth and functioning of living organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deoxyribonucleic acid, more commonly known as DNA, is a complex molecule that contains all of the information necessary to build and maintain an organism. All living things have DNA within their cells. In fact, nearly every cell in a multicellular organism possesses the full set of DNA required for that organism.

Detailed explanation-4: -The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the genetic material found in all living organisms, ranging from single-celled bacteria to multicellular mammals.
