There are two kinds of nucleic acids. Deoxyribonucleic acid ,or DNA, is the genetic material that carries information about an organism and is passed from parent to offspring. The information in DNA is also used to direct all of the cell's functions. Most of the DNA in a cell is found in the chromatin in the nucleus. Ribonucleic acid, or RNA, plays an important role in the production of proteins. RNA is found in the cytoplasm as well as in the nucleus.
