Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids are macromolecules, which means they are molecules composed of many smaller molecular units. Thes units are called nucleotides, and they are chemically linked to one another in a chain. In DNA, the nucleotides are referred to in shorthand as A, C, T, and G.
Detailed explanation-2: -11.1 Introduction: The Four Major Macromolecules These are the carbohydrates, lipids (or fats), proteins, and nucleic acids. All of the major macromolecule classes are similar, in that, they are large polymers that are assembled from small repeating monomer subunits.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleic acid term is referred for DNA and RNA together. The function of DNA is the transmission of genetic information and the medium of long-term storage. RNA’s function is to transmit the genetic code required for creating protein from the nucleus to the ribosome.
Detailed explanation-4: -deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ribonucleic acid (RNA) messenger RNA (mRNA) transfer RNA (tRNA)
