The sample that is being discussed in the problem can be either DNA or RNA.

DNA and RNA are both very important molecules. Both of these hold immense value in biology since they store all the vital information required for living. The basic structures of the two are quite similar; the only difference is that DNA is double-stranded while RNA has a single strand.

DNA and RNA molecules both contain a five-carbon sugar (ribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Except for cytosine, guanine, and adenine, the fourth part is the phosphate group that exists in both. RNA has Uracil while DNA has Thymine.

Since it has not been mentioned here what the fourth part might be, the sample might be a DNA or an RNA molecule.

vaieri [72.5K]

The correct answer is genes.  

A trait refers to the feature like size or color, which is passed from the parents and is inherited by the offspring. The genes control traits and come in pairs, that is, one gene from each parent.  

The transmission of hereditary traits possesses its molecular framework in the accurate DNA replication. This generates gene copies, which can be transmitted to the offspring from the parents. In plants and animals, the reproductive cells known as gametes are the mediators, which transfer genes from one generation to the next.
