Answer 2

Option a) Nucleic Acid

Nucleic acids were first identified in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells, but they are now understood to be present in all living things, including bacteria, archaea, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and viruses.

Nucleic Acid:

• Large macromolecules called nucleic acids are necessary for all organisms and viruses to function.
• The preservation and expression of genetic data is a key role of nucleic acids.
• The information cells require to build proteins is encoded in deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.
• Ribonucleic acid (RNA), a related type of nucleic acid that may take on several molecular structures and function in a variety of biological processes including protein synthesis.

Nucleic acids include, for example:

1. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
2. messenger RNA, or ribonucleic acid (mRNA)
3. RNA transfer (tRNA)
4. the ribosomal RNA

All living things, including the food you eat, contain nucleic acids. According to recent studies, the highest concentrations of these chemicals can be found in meat, fish, seafood, legumes, and mushrooms.
