Question

which type of macromolecule has the function of storing and transmitting hereditary or genetic information? choose lipid carbohydrate nucleic acid protein

Explanation:

Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are responsible for storing and transmitting hereditary or genetic information. DNA contains the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. RNA can also carry genetic information and has various roles in protein - synthesis and other cellular processes. Lipids are mainly for energy storage and membrane - formation, carbohydrates are for energy and structural support, and proteins have functions like catalysis, structure, and transport, but not primarily for storing and transmitting genetic information.

Answer:

nucleic acid
