The right option is; D. DNA contains the blueprint for producing the whole organism.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the hereditary material and the main component of chromosomes that is located in the cell nucleus. DNA carries genetic information (the blueprints) that produces the whole organism. DNA is composed of nucleotides molecules that contain a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base which are of four types; Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T). The DNA’s instructions is determined by the order of the nitrogen bases and can be passed from parents to their offsprings.
