Concept Introduction:

Concept of Nucleic acids:

  • • Nucleic acids are biopolymers that are essential to all forms of life.
  • • The nucleic acid is composed of nucleotides.
  • • The nucleotides are composed of monomers.
  • • The monomers are made of three components such as 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base.
  • • The 5-carbon sugar can be ribose or deoxyribose sugar.
  • • If the 5-carbon sugar is a ribose unit, then the overall nucleic acid is known as ribose nucleic acid which is abbreviated as RNA.
  • • If the 5-carbon sugar is a deoxyribose unit, then the overall nucleic acid is known as deoxyribose nucleic acid which is abbreviated as DNA.
