Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
State two types of nucleic acids
A
deoxyribonucleic acid
B
sulfuric acid
C
nitric acid
D
ribonucleic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The two main classes of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Detailed explanation-2: -The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the genetic material found in all living organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ribonucleic acid (abbreviated RNA) is a nucleic acid present in all living cells that has structural similarities to DNA. Unlike DNA, however, RNA is most often single-stranded. An RNA molecule has a backbone made of alternating phosphate groups and the sugar ribose, rather than the deoxyribose found in DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
