Question

Which is not a major function of the genetic material?

• A. Store information
• B. Catalyse chemical reactions
• C. Replicate itself
• D. Undergo mutation

Answer 1

The correct option is B Catalyse chemical reactions

Enzymes are present inside cells for catalyzing chemical reactions. While genetic material is present inside the nucleus as storage of information for all the cellular activities in the form of genes. Genetic material replicates during cell division. It can also undergo mutation during replication.

So, the correct option is 'Catalyse chemical reactions'.
