8 The function of chrosomes of carrying genetic information from cell generation to another is performed by:
A RNA
B DNA
C Histones
D Calcium

Answer: Option [B]

Genes are made up of polynucleotides. A polynucleotide molecule is a biopolymer composed of 13 or more nucleotide monomers covalently bonded in a chain. DNA and RNA are examples of polynucleotides with distinct biological function.

9 In chrosomes, the material controlling heredity is
A DNA
B Histones
C Chromocentres
D RNA

Answer: Option [A]
