Detailed explanation-1: -If nucleic acids code for proteins, which is a function of proteins? They serve as cellular membrane components and as concentrated energy sources.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids (DNA & RNA) are the factories that produce (express) genetic information in the form of amino acids. These amino acids are the building blocks of proteins that bring those genetic changes phenotypically.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleic acid is important in storing, transmitting, and making useful the information necessary for the processes of life. Protein is composed of amino acids that are important for life functions. Lipids are composed of fats, oils, phospholipids, steroids, and waxes.
Detailed explanation-4: -genetic code, the sequence of nucleotides in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) that determines the amino acid sequence of proteins. Though the linear sequence of nucleotides in DNA contains the information for protein sequences, proteins are not made directly from DNA.
