Question

question 1-4 which group of macromolecules is responsible for transferring genetic information to new cells? carbohydrates lipids nucleic acids proteins

Explanation:

To determine the macromolecule responsible for transferring genetic information to new cells, we analyze each option:

• Carbohydrates: Mainly provide energy (e.g., glucose) or structural support (e.g., cellulose), not genetic info transfer.
• Lipids: Function in energy storage (e.g., fats), cell membrane structure (e.g., phospholipids), and signaling, not genetic transfer.
• Nucleic acids: Include DNA and RNA. DNA carries genetic info, and during cell division (e.g., mitosis/meiosis) or replication, it (and RNA in some cases) transfers genetic information to new cells.
• Proteins: Have roles in structure, enzymes, transport, etc., but do not carry or transfer genetic information.

Answer:

C. nucleic acids
