Question

Which is a function of nucleic acids?

regulate cell processes
provide structure
transmit genetic information
fight disease

Answer 1

The correct answer would be transmit genetic information.

Nucleic acids are defined as the polymers of nucleotide. There are two types of nucleic acids: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), and RNA (ribonucleic acid).

The main function of the nucleic acids is to transmit genetic material or information from parent cell to the daughter cells or from one generation to the next.

The most common form of genetic material is DNA. It is found in all the animals, plants and even in microorganisms, however, RNA also serves as genetic material in some viruses (retrovirus) such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Answer 2

Answer;

They transmit genetic information

Step-by-step explanation;

-Nucleic acids are important because they make up genetic information in living things. There are two types of nucleic acid and they are DNA and RNA. DNA is the basic instructions for living things. It is passed down from parent to offspring and is found in the nucleus of the cell.

-DNA stores your genetic information in the nucleus of the cells. RNA has several sub-types of RNA, including messenger RNA, mRNA, transfer RNA, tRNA, and ribosomal RNA, rRNA.

-Other roles include; the use the genetic information to direct the synthesis of new protein, storage for place for genetic information in the cell. and also DNA controls the synthesis of RNA in the cell.
