What are the three main functions of Nucleic Acids?
A
Short term energy, storage of energy, structure for plants and insects
B
catalyst, immune system support, hair and nails
C
Stores genetic information, contains hereditary information
D
long term energy, water proof, insulation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids are polymers that store, transmit, and express hereditary (genetic) information. This information is encoded in the sequences of monomers that make up nucleic acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids have a very diverse set of functions, such as cell creation, the storage and processing of genetic information, protein building, and the generation of energy cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-5: -DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA.
