BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Among biomolecules, nucleic acids, namely DNA and RNA, have the unique function of storing an organism’s genetic code-the sequence of nucleotides that determines the amino acid sequence of proteins, which are of critical importance to life on Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), carry genetic information which is read in cells to make the RNA and proteins by which living things function. The well-known structure of the DNA double helix allows this information to be copied and passed on to the next generation.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA stores biological information in sequences of four bases of nucleic acid-adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G)-which are strung along ribbons of sugar-phosphate molecules in the shape of a double helix.

Detailed explanation-4: -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). DNA stores and transmits genetic information.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nucleic acids: biological molecules for information storage, retrieval and usage. Nucleic acids are used to store and to utilise genetic information. There are two distinct types: DNA and RNA. DNA is present as chromosomes in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
