Best Answer

DNA.

It is the sequence of bases along the DNA molecule that codes for the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. One or more polypeptide chains, when they have correctly coiled and folded, and, if necessary, assembled together, form the functional molecule that we call a protein.

In some viruses the genetic information is stored in RNA, not DNA, so a more accurate answer would be a nucleic acid.
