BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA contains genes that constitute the genetic material of the cell. DNA is nothing but nucleic acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Nucleic acid is the carrier of genetic information, and it is of two principal types: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).

Detailed explanation-5: -Nucleic acids are giant biomolecules made of monomers called nucleotides. Nucleotides have three components: pentose sugar (5-carbon sugar), phosphate group, and nitrogenous base.
