Which of the following is an example of a nucleic acid?
A
DNA
B
Meat
C
Milk
D
Candy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Two examples of nucleic acids include deoxyribonucleic acid (better known as DNA) and ribonucleic acid (better known as RNA). These molecules are composed of long strands of nucleotides held together by covalent bonds.

Detailed explanation-2: -The two main classes of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the master blueprint for life and constitutes the genetic material in all free-living organisms and most viruses.

Detailed explanation-3: -rRNA (ribosomal ribonucleic acid) tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid)

Detailed explanation-4: -The term nucleic acid is the overall name for DNA and RNA, members of a family of biopolymers, and is synonymous with polynucleotide. Nucleic acids were named for their initial discovery within the nucleus, and for the presence of phosphate groups (related to phosphoric acid).

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
