What do Nucleic Acids control the production of?
A
Nucleotides
B
Lipids
C
Proteins
D
Carbohydrates
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Most genes contain the information needed to make functional molecules called proteins. (A few genes produce regulatory molecules that help the cell assemble proteins.) The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins associate with nucleic acids to mediate transcription and translation of DNA and RNA to decode the information carried by genetic material. In addition, protein–nucleic acid interactions are required to maintain the integrity of DNA and RNA throughout generations.
