What are the functions of nucleic acids?
The primary function of nucleic acids is the storage and transformation of information. This information is required for the synthesis of proteins. Nucleic acids are found in two forms deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid. Deoxyribonucleic acid is responsible for the storage of the generic information while ribonucleic acid transmits the information. Deoxyribonucleic acid also controls the formation of ribonucleic acid. If nucleic acids do not perform their functions properly or the transmitted information is not fully supported then syndromes may emerge.
