Question
Give primary information about nucleic acid compounds.

Answer

Every generation of each and every species resembles its ancestors in many ways.
These characteristics transmitted from one generation to the next generation.
It has been observed that nucleus of a living cell is responsible for this transmission of inherent characters also called heredity.
The particles in nucleus of the cell, responsible for heredity are called chromosomes which are made up of proteins and another type of biomolecules called nucleic acids.
These are mainly of two types, the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
Nucleic acids are long chain polymers of nucleotides, so they are also called Polynucleotides.
