Question

1 which molecule stores genetic information in cells? a rna b dna c protein d lipid

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that stores genetic information in cells. It contains the instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. RNA (Ribonucleic acid) can also carry genetic information (e.g., in some viruses), but in cellular life forms (prokaryotes and eukaryotes), DNA is the primary genetic storage molecule. Proteins are involved in various functions like catalysis (enzymes), structural support, etc., but do not store genetic information. Lipids are mainly for energy storage, membrane formation, etc., and not for genetic information storage.

Answer:

B. DNA
