Detailed explanation-1: -It has been proposed that the nucleic acids serve as templates for the formation of proteins and that they determine the sequence of amino acids in the protein molecule, and such a role has been supported on statistical grounds (3).
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -It carries the correct amino acid to the site of protein synthesis. It is the base pairing between the tRNA and mRNA that allows for the correct amino acid to be inserted in the polypeptide chain.
