RNA and DNA are which type of organic compound?
A
carbohydrate
B
protein
C
lipid
D
nucleic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids are organic compounds that include DNA and RNA. DNA contains genetic instructions for proteins, and RNA helps assemble the proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids, macromolecules made out of units called nucleotides, come in two naturally occurring varieties: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Detailed explanation-3: -uracil, a colourless, crystalline organic compound of the pyrimidine family that occurs as a component of ribonucleic acid (RNA), a molecule involved in the transmission of hereditary characteristics.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ribonucleic acid (abbreviated RNA) is a nucleic acid present in all living cells that has structural similarities to DNA. Unlike DNA, however, RNA is most often single-stranded. An RNA molecule has a backbone made of alternating phosphate groups and the sugar ribose, rather than the deoxyribose found in DNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -Organic Compounds are found in: carbohydrates, lipids, protein, and nucleic acids.
