What is the function of a nucleic acid?
A
Stores genetic information
B
Stores energy
C
Quick source of energy
D
Builds structures
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: -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-3: -Nucleic acids, macromolecules made out of units called nucleotides, come in two naturally occurring varieties: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the genetic material found in living organisms, all the way from single-celled bacteria to multicellular mammals like you and me.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The nucleic acid is one of the basic molecules of life, which functions as the carrier and storage of the genetic information of an organism.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
