heya!!
Two nucleic acid are (DNA) and (RNA)which is de oxyribonuclic acid and ribonucleic acid.

1st about DNA
DNA is the cellular molecule that contains instructions for the performance of all cell functions. When a cell divides, its DNA is copied and passed from one cell generation to the next generation.

now, about RNA
RNA is essential for the synthesis of proteins. Information contained within the genetic code is typically passed from DNA to RNA to the resulting proteins. There are several different types of RNA. Messenger RNA (mRNA) is the RNA transcript or RNA copy of the DNA message produced during DNA transcription. Messenger RNA is translated to form proteins. Transfer RNA (tRNA) has a three dimensional shape and is necessary for the translation of mRNA in protein synthesis. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of ribosomes and is also involved in protein synthesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that help to regulate gene expression.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic acid (RNA) are found in cells.

Function of DNA:
1.It contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things.
2. It helps in the the long-term storage of information in cell.

Function of RNA :
1. It carries the genetic information copied from DNA in the form of a series of three-basecode which specifies a particular amino acid.
