Nucleoproteins are_proteins which transfer heredity information from one generation to other.
Correct answer: C. Genetic proteins
- A. Transport proteins
- B. Structural proteins
- C. Genetic proteins
- D. Regulatory proteins
Explanation
Nucleoproteins are Genetic proteins.Nucleoproteins are complex molecules composed of both nucleic acids (such as DNA or RNA) and proteins. In the context of genetic material and heredity, nucleoproteins are primarily involved in the packaging, organization, and protection of the genetic material (DNA) in cells. They help maintain the structure of chromosomes, regulate gene expression, and facilitate processes such as DNA replication, transcription, and translation.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
