Answer:
The genetic code that living things have is found in a molecule called DNA.
Explanation:
DNA is a molecule of nucleic acid, responsible for containing all the genetic information of a living organism.
DNA forms a double strand that is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells or in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes, and the information is encoded in a specific nucleotide sequence, the translation of which allows the synthesis of proteins.
The information contained in each DNA molecule constitutes a chromosome, and the fragments of this molecule form the genes that determine specific morphological and functional characteristics.
Regarding the other options:
- Cells are the morphological and functional unit of living beings, and they contain the DNA.
- Cytoplasm is a fluid substance found inside the cells and serves as a support for the nucleus, organelles and other substances.
