Answer: FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic information is a information which is stored in cells of the living beings in the form of nucleic acids which can be either DNA (deoxyribonucleic acids) or RNA (ribonucleic acid). These nucleic acids store information in the coded form. These are passed from the parents to their offspring through reproduction. The ATP (adenosine triphophate) is the energy molecule present in the body after the oxidation and breakdown of food by the process of respiration. This does not carry the genetic information.
