Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Match DNA to the correct macromolecule:
A
Protein
B
Lipid
C
Carbohydrate
D
Nucleic Acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids are macromolecules, which means they are molecules composed of many smaller molecular units. Thes units are called nucleotides, and they are chemically linked to one another in a chain. In DNA, the nucleotides are referred to in shorthand as A, C, T, and G. In RNA, the nucleotides are A, C, U, and G.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Strings of nucleotides are bonded to form helical backbones-typically, one for RNA, two for DNA-and assembled into chains of base-pairs selected from the five primary, or canonical, nucleobases, which are: adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil.

Detailed explanation-4: -11.1 Introduction: The Four Major Macromolecules These are the carbohydrates, lipids (or fats), proteins, and nucleic acids. All of the major macromolecule classes are similar, in that, they are large polymers that are assembled from small repeating monomer subunits.
