Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The macromolecules that serve in the storage and transmission of genetic information are:
A
carbohydrates.
B
lipids.
C
membranes.
D
nucleic acids.
E
proteins.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids, Proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids are the four biological macromolecules. Nucleic acids that consist of ribonucleic acids and deoxyribonucleic acid, have many different biological roles including transfer of information and DNA molecules store and transfer inheritable genetic information.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids are key macromolecules in the continuity of life. They carry the genetic blueprint of a cell and carry instructions for the functioning of the cell. The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleic acids are macromolecules that store genetic information and enable protein production. Nucleic acids include DNA and RNA. These molecules are composed of long strands of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group.

Detailed explanation-4: -In nature, just two closely related nucleic acids, DNA and RNA, function as repositories and carriers of genetic information. They therefore are the molecular embodiment of biological information.
