The two main types are DNA and RNA
<span>A single stranded nucleic acid that plays a role in protein synthesis is known as the messenger RNA or mRNA (messenger Ribonucleic Acid). The other two types of nuclei acids are transfer RNA or tRNA and ribosomal rNA or rRNA. These nucleic acids are involved in cellular division in cells, during which transcription and translation occurs.</span>
This is an example of; evolution
Evolution is a gradual process in which the characteristics of a species are changed in response to its environment over several generations. Evolution depends on the process of natural selection. Some of the changed characteristics (traits) may be beneficial to the organism and it can be transferred to their offspring.
