Transmitting genetic info...sounds kind of like genes right? what kind of molecules are used in that?

..

..

DNA and RNA of course!

DNA is the "primary" genetic information holder. It is sort of like a book, in that stores all the blueprints for making life live. It stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, which is just a long word for a special-sugar-without-an-oxygen-in-the-nucleus.

RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is very similar. However, your cells primarily use it as a working copy of the blueprint for life, and is used in this manner to make protein. It is also used though as hereditary material in some viruses like HIV and HTLV though.
