Answer:

b

Explanation:

Genetic information is carried in the linear sequence of nucleotides in DNA. Each molecule of DNA is a double helix formed from two complementary strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between G-C and A-T base pairs. ... In eucaryotes, DNA is contained in the cell nucleus.

The information for a specific protein is being carried on the DNA molecule as a sequence of nucleotides. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.  

Nucleic acids are of two types. They are namely deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA molecule carries the information for a specific protein. They are described as follows:

  • DNA is the genetic material of the cell  
  • DNA molecules undergo a process called transcription to code for codons on mRNA strand
  • These codons tend to pair with tRNA molecule which holds the amino acids
  • The amino acids will then form a chain in the sequence of DNA nucleotides to result in protein formation  

Thus, we can conclude that the information for a specific protein is being carried on the DNA molecule as a sequence of nucleotides. Thus, option (a) is the correct answer.
