Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which macromolecule stores genetic information that is be passed from parents to children?
A
Carbohydrates
B
Lipids
C
Nucleic Acids
D
Proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids, and DNA in particular, are key macromolecules for the continuity of life. DNA bears the hereditary information that’s passed on from parents to children, providing instructions for how (and when) to make the many proteins needed to build and maintain functioning cells, tissues, and organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -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).

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA stores biological information in sequences of four bases of nucleic acid-adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G)-which are strung along ribbons of sugar-phosphate molecules in the shape of a double helix.
