Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ are molecules that contain the instructions that cells need to carry out all the functions of life.
A
nucleic acids
B
lipids
C
compounds
D
proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), carry genetic information which is read in cells to make the RNA and proteins by which living things function. The well-known structure of the DNA double helix allows this information to be copied and passed on to the next generation.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA – THE MOLECULE OF LIFE ! Often referred to as the molecule of life, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is found in almost all living things. It acts as a type of chemical code that contains instructions, known as genes, for how the body and all its different parts grow, develop, function, and maintain themselves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleic acids are the most important macromolecules for the continuity of life. They carry the genetic blueprint of a cell and carry instructions for the functioning of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (abbreviated DNA) is the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. DNA is made of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder-a shape known as a double helix.

Detailed explanation-5: -Virtually every cell in the body contains deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). It is the genetic code that makes each person unique. DNA carries the instructions for the development, growth, reproduction, and functioning of all life.
