Solution
The correct option is B Genes
A gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function. The transmission of genes to an organism's offspring is the basis of inheritance of phenotypic traits. These genes make up different DNA sequences called genotypes.During gene expression, the DNA is first copied to RNA. This can be directly functional or be an intermediate template for a protein that performs a function.Genes are the hereditary units that transfer traits from parents to offsprings as they are the part of DNA. Asexual organisms simply inherit a complete copy of their parent's genome. Sexual organisms have two copies of each chromosome because they inherit one complete set from each parent.So, the correct option is 'Genes'.
