Which is a molecule that is present in all living cells and that contains the information that determines the traits that a living thing inherits and needs to live?
A
DNA
B
nucleotide
C
base
D
mutation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What do a human, a rose, and a bacterium have in common? Each of these things-along with every other organism on Earth-contains the molecular instructions for life, called deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deoxyribonucleic acid, a molecule that is present in all living cells and that contains the information that determines the traits that a living thing inherits and needs to live. In a nucleic-acid chain, a subunit that consists of sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Genetic material provides the information that allows living things to function. Genetic information can be passed on from generation to generation. The passing on of this genetic information will be different in asexual and sexual reproduction and cloning.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleus is a structure inside the cell that contains the nucleolus and most of the cell’s DNA. It is also where most RNA is made. The cytoplasm is the fluid inside the cell. It contains other tiny cell parts that have specific functions, including the Golgi complex, the mitochondria, and the endoplasmic reticulum.
