Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids are organic compounds that include DNA and RNA. DNA contains genetic instructions for proteins, and RNA helps assemble the proteins.
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: -Illustrated Glossary of Organic Chemistry-RNA. RNA (Ribonucleic acid): A single-stranded biopolymer of D-ribofuranose nucleosides joined by 3’, 5’-phosphodiesters. RNA nucleobases include adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ribonucleic acid (abbreviated RNA) is a nucleic acid present in all living cells that has structural similarities to DNA. Unlike DNA, however, RNA is most often single-stranded. An RNA molecule has a backbone made of alternating phosphate groups and the sugar ribose, rather than the deoxyribose found in DNA.
Detailed explanation-5: -Organic Compounds are found in: carbohydrates, lipids, protein, and nucleic acids.
