nucleic acid, naturally occurring chemical compound that serves as the main information-carrying molecule of the cell and that directs the process of protein synthesis, thereby determining the inherited characteristics of every living thing.

Nucleic acids are chemical compounds that are found in nature. They carry information in cells and make up genetic material. These acids are very common in all living things, where they create, encode, and store information in every living cell of every life-form on Earth.

2017年9月7日 · A nucleic acid is a chain of nucleotides which stores genetic information in biological systems. It creates DNA and RNA, which store the information needed by cells to create proteins. This information is stored in multiple sets of three nucleotides, known as codons.

2023年5月12日 · A nucleic acid is a biomolecule that stores and transmits genetic information in living organisms. Nucleic acids are composed of nucleotides, which, in turn, are made up of sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base. There are two types of nucleic acids: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Overview:

2023年2月15日 · A nucleic acid is biological polymer or biopolymer that is essential to life and consists of a nitrogenous bases, 5-carbon (pentose) sugar, and phosphate groups. The two types of nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. They are “nucleic acids” because DNA is in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and is chemically an acid. Nucleic acids carry the ...

5 天之前 · Nucleic acids are large biomolecules that play essential roles in all cells and viruses. A major function of nucleic acids involves the storage and expression of genomic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, encodes the information cells need to make proteins.

2024年8月5日 · Nucleic acids are macromolecules that store genetic information and enable protein production. Nucleic acid examples include DNA and RNA. These molecules are composed of long strands of nucleotides.

2021年12月22日 · Nucleic acids are macromolecules that are found in every living cell, either alone or in conjunction with other substances. End-to-end polymerisation of a vast number of units called nucleotides linked by phosphodiester linkages forms these lengthy strands.
