| Nucleic Acids | Consist of nucleotides, which are made of a pentose sugar, and phosphate group, and one of five base chemicals that include nitrogen
🗑
|
||||
| Nucleic Acids | Include deoxyribonucleic acid, which is a double strand of nucleotides with a structure that defines the code of inherited traits
🗑
|
||||
| Nucleic Acids | Include ribonucleic acid, which is a single strand of nucleotides that synthesizes protein
🗑
