Respuesta :

Answer:

It is composed of protein

Explanation:

The genetic material of the organisms is known as the DNA which acts as the universal genetic material except for few viruses.

The DNA is composed of nucleotides and thus is a nucleic acid by composition. DNA is known as the genetic material as the information or features of organisms are encoded in the DNA in the form of nitrogenous bases.

The genetic material must be passed on to the progeny so must be replicated accurately without error.

Since the DNA is not composed of proteins as is composed of phosphate, sugar and the nitrogenous basis therefore the selected option is the correct answer.

Answer:

B: it is composed of proteins.

Explanation:

All the options above are true for a genetic material except that its composition is not made up of proteins but of four chemical bases also known as nucleotides: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T) attached to a sugar (ribose) and a phosphate molecule: hence the name deoxyribonucleic acid.
