Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are Nucleic Acids made up of?
A
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen
B
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur
C
Carbon Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Phosphate
D
Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids include RNA (ribonucleic acid) as well as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Both types of nucleic acids contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids are made of nitrogen-containing bases, phosphate groups, and sugar molecules. Each type of nucleic acid has a distinctive structure and plays a different role in our cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus (CHON P).

Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleic acids are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorous atoms. Nucleic acids store and transfer cellular information and transfer energy in all living organisms. Nucleic acids are made of small repeating units or building blocks called nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-5: -Modified Nucleosides in Genomic DNAs. During the period 1920-45, naturally occurring nucleic acid polymers (DNA and RNA) were thought to contain only four canonical nucleosides (ribo-or deoxy-derivatives): adenosine, cytosine, guanosine, and uridine or thymidine.
