The nucleus of the cell contains the blueprints to run the cell. The blueprints are contained in the DNA.
DNA or genes
DNA
The cell nucleus contains the "blueprints" for the production of protein. The "blueprints" are the DNA contained within the nucleus. DNA is often called the blueprint of life.
Perhaps it would be the safe in which the original blueprints to the factory and details of its processes are kept? In this analogy the blueprints are the DNA. Copying of these blueprints is equivalent to transcription and protein synthesis.

DNA is a polymer
DNA is the only polymer in that list. The other 3 options are all individual subunits that could be made into a polymer. Amino acids are the monomers (individual subunits) that up DNA and RNA

"DNA" refers to the molecule that the enzyme works on, "polymerase" indicates that it synthesizes polymers by linking nucleotides together to form DNA strands, and "ase" denotes that it is an enzyme, catalyzing the reaction. So, the name "DNA polymerase" signifies an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of DNA molecules by creating polymer chains from nucleotide building blocks.

An organic polymer.
No, proteins are not typically referred to as the "blueprints of life." DNA is usually referred to as the blueprint of life because it contains the genetic information needed to build and maintain living organisms. Proteins are more often described as the workhorses of the cell because they perform most of the functions in living organisms.
The polymer used to pass hereditary material is DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It contains the genetic instructions that determine the development and functioning of living organisms. DNA is located in the cell nucleus and is responsible for transmitting genetic information from one generation to the next.
A DNA nucleotide is a single building block of DNA, consisting of a sugar molecule (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases. DNA polymer is a long chain of DNA nucleotides linked together by phosphodiester bonds. Think of DNA nucleotides as the bricks, and DNA polymer as the wall built from those bricks.
