Nucleic acid

Question 1

large, complex molecules that store, transmit, and express genetic information. They are responsible for heredity and the synthesis of proteins.

Answer 1

Nucleic Acid

Question 2

two main types of nucleic acid

Answer 2

DNA (Deoxyribonucleotide)
RNA ( Ribonucleotide)

Question 3

3 parts of nucleotide

Answer 3

1. Sugar-deoxyribose (DNA) or ribose (RNA).
2. Phosphate group - links nucleotides together.
3. Nitrogenous base - carries genetic code. ( Purine, Pyramidines)
