Biology

The correct answer is: B.Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids, allowing them to store and transfer genetic information.

Here’s why:

Nucleotides are the monomers (building blocks) that make up nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. These nucleotides are linked together to form long chains (polymers), and the sequence of these nitrogenous bases encodes genetic information. This allows nucleic acids to:

1.Store genetic information: DNA stores the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, and functioning of living organisms.

2.Transfer genetic information: RNA plays a key role in translating genetic information from DNA into proteins (through processes like transcription and translation).
