NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -DNA, along with RNA and proteins, is one of the three major macromolecules that are essential for life.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is an information storage macromolecule that encodes the complete set of instructions (the genome) that are required to assemble, maintain, and reproduce every living organism.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleic acids are the main information-carrying molecules of the cell and they are of two types: ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Nucleic acids are made up of macromolecules called nucleotides. Complete answer: Nucleotides are the macromolecules that constitute the nucleic acids.

Detailed explanation-5: -DNA and RNA are both types of nucleic acids, which are large molecules found in all living cells and viruses. Nucleic acids are the information-carrying molecules of the cell. They store all the genetic material of an organism, which is passed on to offspring (inherited) when the organism reproduces.
