Answer: B

Explanation: Because DNA is the blueprint for life, it is also what makes up the organisms color, as an example, blue eyes or green eyes possibly inherited from one of your parents, or parent.

Nucleic acids are the macromolecule that store hereditary information that makes organisms unique.

What is nucleic acid and what is its importance?

• Nucleic acids are the made up of smaller units called nucleotides. These nucleotides are made up of pentose (five carbon) sugar to which a nitrogen containing aromatic base and a phosphate group is attached.

• There are two types of nucleic acids one is called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA consists of ribose sugar that lacks one oxygen atom, hence the name deoxyribonucleic acid.

• Depending on the type of nitrogen containing base there are five types of nucleotide adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), thymine (T) and uracil (U). Collectively A and G are called purines, while C, T and U form a group of pyrimidines. Uracil is present only in RNA.

Therefore, option (b) is correct which states that nucleic acid store hereditary information that makes organism unique.
