Solution
The answer is the third one (or C): DNA.
Explanation for each option:
RNA: RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) is a single-stranded molecule involved in protein synthesis and the transmission of genetic information, but it does not have a double helix shape.
Chromosomism: This term is not a standard biological term and does not describe a molecule with a double helix shape.
DNA: DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is a complex molecule with a double helix shape, like a spiral staircase, and contains genetic information.
Ribosome: Ribosomes are cellular structures that synthesize proteins, but they are not molecules with a double helix shape.
Summary:
The correct answer is DNA, as it is the molecule with a double helix shape that contains genetic information.
