Question

Molecules that store and process genetic information are the
A) proteins.
B) nucleic acids.
C) carbohydrates.
D) lipids.
E) steroids.

Accepted Answer

Nucleic acids, in the form of DNA and RNA, store and process genetic information. Proteins are involved in many cellular functions, but do not store genetic information. Carbohydrates and lipids are important for energy storage and membrane structure, respectively. Steroids are a type of lipid that function in hormone signaling, not genetic information storage.
