Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids are macromolecules, which means they are molecules composed of many smaller molecular units. Thes units are called nucleotides, and they are chemically linked to one another in a chain. In DNA, the nucleotides are referred to in shorthand as A, C, T, and G. In RNA, the nucleotides are A, C, U, and G.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids, macromolecules made out of units called nucleotides, come in two naturally occurring varieties: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
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. The well-known structure of the DNA double helix allows this information to be copied and passed on to the next generation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Macromolecules are the polymer that made of monomers, such as carbon (C), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), phosphate, etc. There are generally two types of nucleic acids-DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: DNA is a nucleic acid. There are four main groupings or classes of organic macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. DNA (or deoxyribonucleic acid) is a macromolecule, which falls into the latter grouping of organic macromolecules-nucleic acids.
