Question

which molecule serves as the genetic blueprint and carries instructions for protein synthesis in cells?
lipid
rna
enzyme
carbohydrate
dna

Explanation:

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that serves as the genetic blueprint. It contains the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. RNA (Ribonucleic acid) can carry out protein synthesis (e.g., mRNA - messenger RNA), but the original genetic blueprint is stored in DNA. Lipids are mainly for energy storage, membrane structure, etc. Enzymes are biological catalysts. Carbohydrates are for energy supply (e.g., glucose) and structural purposes (e.g., cellulose in plants).

Answer:

DNA
