Question

1. the genetic code is carried in * water soil dna/rna protein

Explanation:

To determine the carrier of the genetic code, we analyze each option:

• Water: A solvent in cells, not a genetic code carrier.
• Soil: An environmental component, unrelated to genetic code.
• DNA/RNA: DNA stores genetic info, RNA (like mRNA) transfers it during protein synthesis. They carry the genetic code.
• Protein: Products of genetic code translation, not carriers.

Answer:

C. DNA/RNA (assuming the options are labeled A to D with A: water, B: soil, C: DNA/RNA, D: protein)
