The purpose of nucleic acids is to store
A
Water
B
Minerals
C
Genetic Information
D
Energy
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. 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-4: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (abbreviated DNA) is the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. DNA is made of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder-a shape known as a double helix.

Detailed explanation-5: -The genetic information of an organism is stored in DNA molecules.
