Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which biomolecule provides all living organisms with genetic information?
A
Nucleic Acid
B
Protein
C
Carbohydrates
D
Lipids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA is the genetic material found in all living organisms, ranging from single-celled bacteria to multicellular mammals. The other type of nucleic acid, RNA, is mostly involved in protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Nucleic acids are macromolecules, which means they are molecules composed of many smaller molecular units. Thes units are called nucleotides, and they are chemically linked to one another in a chain. In DNA, the nucleotides are referred to in shorthand as A, C, T, and G. In RNA, the nucleotides are A, C, U, and G.

Detailed explanation-5: -Biomolecules are organic compounds found in living organisms and are of four types-carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone molecules. Proteins are polypeptide molecules of repeating units called amino acids. Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides.
