Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Both types of cells contain genetic material in the form of what molecule?
A
Proteins
B
Nucleic Acids
C
Carbohydrates
D
Lipids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids are the molecules that contain and help express a cell’s genetic code. There are two major classes of nucleic acids: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Detailed explanation-2: -The molecule inside cells that contains the genetic information responsible for the development and function of an organism. DNA molecules allow this information to be passed from one generation to the next.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cells can comprise two types of genetic materials-DNA and RNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates have no role whatsoever in genetic transmission, and the closest relation they have to genetics is to be the backbone of the DNA chain (namely, the deoxyribose ring in the DNA chain) and the RNA chain (namely, the ribose ring in the RNA backbone).

Detailed explanation-5: -A carbohydrate is an organic compound such as sugar or starch, and is used to store energy. Like most organic compounds, carbohydrates are built of small, repeating units that form bonds with each other to make a larger molecule. In the case of carbohydrates, the small repeating units are calle d monosaccharides.
