LIFE SCIENCE

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: -Nucleic acids are large biomolecules that play essential roles in all cells and viruses. A major function of nucleic acids involves the storage and expression of genomic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, encodes the information cells need to make proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -The natural nucleic acids DNA and RNA serve as the repositories and carriers of genetic information for all life on earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes an organism’s genetic blueprint. In other words, DNA contains all of the information required to build and maintain an organism.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nucleic acids are biomolecules found in the nuclei of all living cells, as one of the constituents of chromosomes. (i) DNA is responsible for the transmission of inherent characters from one generation to the next. (ii) Nucleic acids (both DNA and RNA) are responsible for protein synthesis in a cell.
