A) genes only
B) hormones only
C) genes and hormones
D) neurotransmitters only
E) genes, hormones, and neurotransmitters
Transmission Mechanisms
The processes by which signals or forces are conveyed from one part to another, such as in the transmission of nerve impulses.
Genes
Segments of DNA located on chromosomes, that contain the instructions for the synthesis of proteins, influencing individual traits.
Hormones
Chemical messengers secreted by glands that regulate bodily processes and behaviors by acting on specific target cells.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Information in living organisms is transmitted through genes, which carry the genetic code, hormones, which are chemical messengers that regulate physiological processes, and neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers that transmit signals across a chemical synapse, such as a neuromuscular junction, from one neuron (nerve cell) to another 'target' neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell.
