Answer 2

Carrying the genetic information of an organism

Step-by-step explanation:

Nucleic acid is of two types ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid. Ribonucleic acid is the acid the Both the nucleic acid acts as the genetic material. Most of the organism have DNA as their genetic material and some have RNA.

Genetic material carry the genetic information form the parents to the offsprings. Genetic material contains all the information about the organism's structure and characters. Eukaryotes have larger and complex genetic material than prokaryotes. Therefore the correct answer is- Carrying the genetic information of an organism.
