Question

what are nucleic acids? enlist the point of difference among DNA and RNA ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nucleic acids are the biopolymers, or small biomolecules, essential to all known forms of life. The term nucleic acid is the overall name for DNA and RNA. They are composed of nucleotides, which are the monomers made of three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base.

Nucleic acids are the molecules that carry the genetic information that is passed down from parent to child. However, nucleic acids are special since they can also combine with proteins to become the machines -- called ribosomes -- that turn genetic instructions in nucleic acids into other protein machines.

Answer 2

a complex organic substances present in living cells like Rna or Dna whose molecules consist of nucleotides linked in a long chain.

difference between Rna and Dna

rna is single stranded while dna is double stranded.

rna has ribose sugar while dna has deoxyribose sugar.
