Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False:DNA is a type of nucleic acid.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: There are two kinds of nucleic acids found in living organisms, namely RNA (Ribonucleic acid) and DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). Both these nucleic acid includes a chain of nucleotide which is made of a five-carbon sugar, nitrogenous bases, and the phosphate group.

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: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Correct answer: Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides that contain a pentose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. There are two types of nucleic acids; DNA and RNA. The difference between these two nucleic acids is their pentose sugar. DNA has deoxyribose whereas RNA has ribose sugar residues.

Detailed explanation-5: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid containing the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms.
