Question

what do all cells contain that is essential for genetic information? rna proteins lipids dna

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. While some viruses use RNA as their genetic material, all cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) contain DNA as the essential molecule for genetic information. Proteins have many functions like catalyzing reactions and forming structures but are not the carriers of genetic information. Lipids are mainly involved in energy - storage, membrane - formation etc. and not in storing genetic information.

Answer:

D. DNA
