A nucleic acid is a macromolecule composed of chains of monomeric nucleotides. In biochemistry these molecules carry genetic information or form structures within cells. The most common nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). 2 examples of nucleic acids as said before are DNA and RNA.

What is the importance of nucleic acids in living organisms?
The function of nucleic acids is to store and transmit hereditary or genetic information there are two kinds of nucleic acids RNA and DNA.
What are two examples of nucleic acids?
What are two examples of nucleic acids?RNA and DNA (ribo- and deoxyribonucleic acid)Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic acid (RNA) are examples of nucleic acids.
What are two main functions of nucleic acids?
Nucleic acids actually have 4 functions: 1 for DNA and 1 for each type of RNA. For DNA, nucleic acids are responsible for storing and replicating genetic information For rRNA (ribosomal RNA), nucleic acids are responsible for the basis of the structure and function of ribosomes For mRNA (messenger RNA), nucleic acids are responsible carrying messages through the cell For tRNA (transfer RNA), nucleic acids are responsible for carrying amino acids
What is DNA a form of?
DNA is De oxy ribo nucleic acidSo it is a form of two oxygen, a ribose sugar, and nucleic acids(So it is a form of nucleic acids)
What DNA belongs to the group of organic compounds known as?
The four major groups are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acid. Since DNA is made of nucleic acids on a sugar-phosphate backbone, its components would be in two categories, carbohydrates and nucleic acids.
