Question

The molecule of heredity is
A) RNA.
B) DNA.
C) protein.
D) carbohydrate.
E) lipid.

Accepted Answer

The molecule of heredity is DNA. It contains the genetic information that is passed down from one generation to the next and determines an organism's characteristics. RNA plays a role in the process of translating that genetic information into proteins, but it is not the primary molecule of heredity. Proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids all have important roles in the body, but they are not directly involved in passing on genetic material.
