Nucleic acids include RNA and DNA. What is the role of these organic macromolecules? a Main source of energy for all living things b Direct components of structural parts of cells/organisms c Storage and expression of genetic information d Insulation and long term energy storage

1 answer

The correct answer is c) Storage and expression of genetic information.

Nucleic acids, which include DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), play crucial roles in the storage, transmission, and expression of genetic information in living organisms. DNA contains the genetic blueprint for the development and functioning of an organism, while RNA is involved in translating that information into proteins, which perform various functions within cells.
