DNA is a blueprint within which all the cellular proteins, ribonucleic acids are encoded. All these proteins and ribonucleic acids are responsible for the different metabolic processes occurring in a cell. In a way, DNA directs all the reactions of a cell and determines its lifespan, functions, morphology among other things.

What molecules of inside cells encode information to direct their growth and development?

The molecules inside cells that encode information to direct their growth and development are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA contains the genetic instructions for the cell, while RNA helps in the process of translating these instructions into proteins that regulate growth and development.
