Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids are found in all living things, including the foods you eat. Based on current research, meat, fish, seafood, legumes, and mushrooms contain the highest levels of these compounds.
Detailed explanation-2: -Modified Nucleosides in Genomic DNAs. During the period 1920-45, naturally occurring nucleic acid polymers (DNA and RNA) were thought to contain only four canonical nucleosides (ribo-or deoxy-derivatives): adenosine, cytosine, guanosine, and uridine or thymidine.
Detailed explanation-3: -All living things are made of cells. All cells come from pre-existing cells by transmitting nucleic acids from the parent cell to the new cell. That means that every food that we derive from a living thing is chock full of nucleic acids in every one of its cells.
