Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which group of biomolecules is involved in storing and transmitting genetic (hereditary) material?
A
carbohydrates
B
lipids
C
proteins
D
nucleic acids
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: -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-3: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes an organism’s genetic blueprint. In other words, DNA contains all of the information required to build and maintain an organism.
