Solution

The correct option is A

RNA


The correct option is A.

Explanation of correct option:

  1. The genetic information is transferred from the nucleus to the cytoplasm by RNA (Ribonucleic acid).
  2. RNA was discovered by Severo Ochoa.
  3. In eukaryotic cells, pre-mRNA has been transcribed from DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and processed to mature mRNA.
  4. Removal of introns,non-coding sequence from pre mRNA.
  5. The pre-mRNA (hnRNA) is transcribed after the formation of mature mRNA (messenger RNA).
  6. mRNA is transferred from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
  7. mRNA is bound to the ribosome and translated into a protein with help of tRNA (Transfer ribonucleic acid).
  8. It regulates the coding, decoding, and expression of genes.

Explanation of incorrect option:
Option B:

  1. DNA(Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) contains genetic information.
  2. It was discovered by Watson and Crick.
  3. It transfers instructions for protein synthesis.
  4. Through it, genetic heredity occurs DNA passes from parents to offspring.
  5. DNA can undergo self-replication.
  6. DNA carries genes that are carried by chromosomes that can be transferred.

Option C:

  1. Lysosome was discovered by Christian de Duve.
  2. They were named ‘suicide bags' or ‘suicide sacs’.
  3. It contains enzyme acid hydrolases and breaks food that is easy to digest.
  4. It digests excess organelles, and food particle, or engulf pathogens.
  5. It is more common in animal cells.

Option D:

  1. ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic hormone) is a hormone of the pituitary gland.
  2. It enhances the production of adrenal androgens.
  3. It is responsible for the synthesis of glucocorticoids.
  4. It is a key regulator of the stress response.

Final answer: Genetic Information Is transferred from the nucleus to the cytoplasm through RNA (Ribonucleic acid).
