Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The two types of nucleic acids are
A
RNA and ADP
B
DNA and RNA
C
DNA and ADP
D
nucleotides and ATP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The two main types of nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. Both DNA and RNA are made from nucleotides, each containing a five-carbon sugar backbone, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. DNA provides the code for the cell ‘s activities, while RNA converts that code into proteins to carry out cellular functions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic Acids Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, encodes the information cells need to make proteins. A related type of nucleic acid, called ribonucleic acid (RNA), comes in different molecular forms that play multiple cellular roles, including protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two differences that distinguish DNA from RNA: (a) RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA contains the slightly different sugar deoxyribose (a type of ribose that lacks one oxygen atom), and (b) RNA has the nucleobase uracil while DNA contains thymine.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA, RNA and ATP are important nucleic acids. DNA and RNA are made up of repeating units called nucleotides. They contain genetic instructions for proteins, help synthesize proteins, and pass genetic instructions on to daughter cells and offspring.
