Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids, and DNA in particular, are key macromolecules for the continuity of life. DNA bears the hereditary information that’s passed on from parents to children, providing instructions for how (and when) to make the many proteins needed to build and maintain functioning cells, tissues, and organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids are polymers that store, transmit, and express hereditary (genetic) information. This information is encoded in the sequences of monomers that make up nucleic acids. There are two types of nucleic acids: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins and Protein Synthesis Proteins are biologically important polymeric macromolecules that are formed from amino acid monomers. The process by which proteins are synthesized is called protein synthesis. Protein synthesis can be divided into two main parts, namely: transcription, and translation.
