Nucleases.
No, nucleic acids are not enzymes. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides where as enzymes are proteins, but all proteins are not enzymes.
Restriction enzymes
yes
It catalyzes the bonding of RNA nucleotides.
Nucleotidases are primarily produced in the liver, although they can also be found in other tissues such as the kidneys and intestines. These enzymes play a crucial role in nucleotide metabolism by breaking down nucleotides into their components, which are then used for various cellular processes.
The unpaired nucleotides produced by the action of restriction enzymes are referred to as sticky ends due to their single-stranded overhangs that can base pair with complementary sequences. These sticky ends are useful for facilitating the insertion of a piece of DNA into a plasmid during molecular cloning.

No, nucleic acids are not enzymes. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides where as enzymes are proteins, but all proteins are not enzymes.

One, by the genetically controlled 'copy number' of the number of individual enzymes available to the cytoplasm; two, by the concentration {or presence} of control factors that determine the activity of individual enzymes; and three, by the presence or absence of various termination factors that determine which Version of an enzyme is to be produced.
DNA helicase
No, it does not.No.
The end product of nucleic acid digestion is nucleotides. During the digestion process, enzymes such as nucleases break down nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) into smaller units, eventually leading to the formation of individual nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. These nucleotides can then be further metabolized or utilized for various cellular functions, including the synthesis of new nucleic acids.
