Final answer:
Genetic information is passed from where it is stored to where it can function in life through DNA → RNA → Protein. So the correct answer is Option 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct option that shows the way genetic information is passed from where it is stored to where it can function in life is DNA → RNA → Protein. This is known as the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology. DNA stores the genetic information, which is transcribed into RNA through a process called transcription. Then, the RNA is translated into proteins through a process called translation.
