question 1 - 7
which group of macromolecules is responsible for transferring genetic information to new cells?
lipids
proteins
nucleic acids
carbohydrates
Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) store and transmit genetic information. DNA is replicated during cell - division to pass on genetic info to new cells, and RNA is involved in processes like transcription and translation related to genetic expression. Lipids are mainly for energy storage and membrane - structure, proteins have various functions like catalysis and structure but not primarily genetic transfer, and carbohydrates are for energy and structural support.
