Which of the following proteins have role in heredity?
Correct answer: D. Nucleo-proteins
- A. Chromo-proteins
- B. Lipo-proteins
- C. Phospho-proteins
- D. Nucleo-proteins
Explanation
Nucleoproteins consist of nucleic acids associated with proteins, and nucleic acids such as DNA carry hereditary information. Phosphoproteins also contain phosphate groups, but phosphate alone does not make them hereditary material, so students may choose phosphoproteins because DNA contains phosphate groups.
