Name the two nucleic acid present in the celland their function
Answers
Answer:
The two nucleic acids present in the cell are deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) and ribonuclieic acid(RNA).
Function of DNA - it keeps long term storage of information.
Function of RNA - it carries information from DNA to ribosome.
Explanation:
The particles in the nucleus of the cell, responsible for heredity are called chromosomes. Chromosomes are made up of biomolecules, called Nucleic acid.
Nucleic acid are mainly of two types—
- Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
- Ribonucleic acid (RNA)
★Functions of DNA—
↪️It contains the instructions for all proteins the organism will ever synthesize.
↪️DNA can also be enzymatically degraded and used as a source of nucleosides and nucleotides for the cell.
★Functions of RNA—
↪️The three main types of RNA are directly involved in protein synthesis (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA).
↪️The mRNA carries the message from the DNA, which controls all of the cellular activities in a cell.
↪️The rRNA ensures the proper alignment of the mRNA, tRNA, and the ribosomes.
