Answer 1

All organisms need instructions to specify their traits. The instructions, or code, that is responsible for all the inherited traits of an organism B. is held in genetic material called DNA.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is B) is held in genetic material called DNA.

All individuals inherit specific characterics or traits (like skin color, eye color) from their parents.

The information for the specific traits is present in the genetic material called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in the form of nucleotide sequences, which is passed from parents to their offsprings.

Therefore, the instructions or information required for all the inherited traits of an organism is held in the genetic material called DNA.
