Nucleic AcidsNuclei acids control the processes of heredity by which cells and organisms reproduce proteins. The key nucleic acids are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). A molecule of a nuclei acid consists of a long chain of units called nucleotides. The type, location, and sequencing of the nucleotides governs the biological activity of the nucleic acid.
