Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -There are two types of nucleic acids: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). DNA stores and transmits genetic information. Through RNA intermediates, the information encoded in DNA is used to specify the amino acid sequences of proteins.
Detailed explanation-3: -RNA carries genetic information in some viruses. A few functions of RNA are the creation of new cells in the body, playing as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes, translation of DNA into proteins, and choosing appropriate amino acids to form new proteins in the body.
