Nucleic acids were named as such because they were first found in the cell nucleus. Robert Brown first coined the term nucleus when he discovered the cell nucleus in 1831. In about 1869 a phospohrus containing substance was found in the nucleus and called nuclein by Johann Friedrich Miescher. This was changed to nucleic acids over time as the acidic nature was discovered. The original "nucleus" came from Robert Brown. Thomas Avery discovered it was the genetic carrier in the 1940s.
What else can I help you with?
DNA and RNA are 2 examples of what?
Nucleic acids. Dna = Deoxyribonucleic Acid Rna = Ribonucleic Acid
What is the name of the macromolecules that makes up DNA?
Nucleic acids.
Is nucleic acids the same as amino acids?
No, nucleic acids are molecules that store and transmit genetic information, such as DNA and RNA, while amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids, not nucleic acids.
Are amino acids a nucleic acid?
No, amino acids are not nucleic acids. Amino acids are organic compounds that combine to form proteins, whereas nucleic acids are biological macromolecules that store genetic information, such as DNA and RNA.
What biomolecule group does DNA belong to?
DNA belongs to the group of biomolecules known as nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are essential macromolecules that store and transmit genetic information in living cells.

What is a nuclear acid?
"Nuclear acid" is not a valid term. Did you mean "nucleic acid"? Nucleic acids are essential biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in living organisms. Examples of nucleic acids include DNA and RNA.
Do nucleic acids produce protein?
No. Nucleic acids are the building blocks of protein. There are various types of nucleic acids that form proteins.
Do proteins encode nucleic acids?
No. Nucleic acids encode proteins.
DNA and RNA are 2 examples of what?
