Question

which type of organic compound (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, or nucleic acids) stores genetic information?

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are mainly for energy (e.g., glucose) or structure (e.g., cellulose). Lipids are for energy storage (e.g., fats) and cell membranes. Proteins have roles like enzymes, structure, or transport. Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are known to store and transmit genetic information, with DNA being the primary carrier of genetic code.

Answer:

nucleic acids
