Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An example of a nucleic acid is
A
amino acid
B
DNA
C
sugar
D
wax
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Two examples of nucleic acids include deoxyribonucleic acid (better known as DNA) and ribonucleic acid (better known as RNA). These molecules are composed of long strands of nucleotides held together by covalent bonds. Nucleic acids can be found within the nucleus and cytoplasm of our cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of Nucleic Acids The most common nucleic acids in nature are DNA and RNA. These molecules form the foundation for the majority of life on Earth, and they store the information necessary to create proteins which in turn complete the functions necessary for cells to survive and reproduce.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleic acids, macromolecules made out of units called nucleotides, come in two naturally occurring varieties: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Detailed explanation-4: -deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) ribonucleic acid (RNA) messenger RNA (mRNA)

Detailed explanation-5: -DNA outside the nucleus is referred to as extranuclear DNA. Examples of extranuclear DNAs are mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and chloroplast DNA (cpDNA). The presence of nucleic acids in these organelles enables them to become semi-autonomous, self-reproducing organelles.
