Verified
The carriers of genetic information in the form of DNA are the
A) chromosomes.
B) ribosomes.
C) nucleotides.
D) rhizomes.
Chromosomes
Long strands of DNA housed in the nucleus of a cell, which carry genes and function in the transmission of genetic information.
Ribosomes
Cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis in living organisms.
Nucleotides
Organic molecules that serve as the building blocks of nucleic acids, like DNA and RNA, each composed of a base, a sugar, and a phosphate group.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Chromosomes are bundles of DNA that carry genetic information in the form of genes. Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, but they do not carry genetic information. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA, but they do not themselves carry genetic information. Rhizomes are plant structures that serve as storage organs, and they are not involved in genetic information.
