Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The biomolecules that store genetic information and the code for making proteins are ____
A
proteins
B
nucleic acids
C
carbohydrates
D
lipids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids are large biomolecules that play essential roles in all cells and viruses. A major function of nucleic acids involves the storage and expression of genomic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, encodes the information cells need to make proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA stores hereditary information which provides instructions for the assembly of proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Among biomolecules, nucleic acids, namely DNA and RNA, have the unique function of storing an organism’s genetic code-the sequence of nucleotides that determines the amino acid sequence of proteins, which are of critical importance to life on Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -The natural nucleic acids DNA and RNA serve as the repositories and carriers of genetic information for all life on earth.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nucleic acids are polymers that store, transmit, and express hereditary (genetic) information. This information is encoded in the sequences of monomers that make up nucleic acids. There are two types of nucleic acids: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). DNA stores and transmits genetic information.
