Deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid.
The nucleic acid present in the nucleus of an animal cell is DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA carries genetic information that determines an organism's traits and is organized into chromosomes within the nucleus.
The nucleus of the cell was named by Robert Brown, a Scottish botanist, in 1831. He observed the distinct structure within the cell and coined the term "nucleus" to describe it.
Nucleic acid
Nucleic acids are named as such because they were first discovered in the cell nucleus. They play a vital role in storing and transmitting genetic information within a cell. The key building blocks of nucleic acids are nucleotides, which consist of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group.
