Which of the following can be described as genetic material that describes the cell?

A = The nucleus

B = Ribosomes

C = DNA

D = RNA

Ever wonder why your eyes are a certain colour? or why you look like your mom or dad? well your genetic material know as Deoxyribonucelic acid (DNA) is the hereditary material found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells (animal and plant) and the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells (bacteria) that determines the composition of the organism. DNA is found in the nucleus of every cell, and it is exactly the same in each cell. There is another type of genetic material found in cells and viruses known as ribonucleic acid (RNA).

The best answer to this question is DNA. DNA holds the genetic makeup of the body in each individual cell. RNA is part of DNA. The nucleus holds the DNA. Ribosomes turn RNA into protein. That is why the answer cannot be RNA, ribosomes, or the nucleus.
