Over the past century, several scientists around the world have made the following observations: New mitochondria and plastids c

an only be generated by old mitochondria and plastids through a process similar to binary fission. Both mitochondria and plastids contain DNA that is similar in shape and size to that of bacteria. Mitochondria and plastids are surrounded by two or more membranes whose composition is similar to a prokaryotic cell membrane. Mitochondria and plastids are about the size as bacteria. These observations led scientists to conclude that

Nucleic acids are one of the four types of biological molecules in nature. The other three being: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids. Nucleic acids consists of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic acid (RNA).

DNA is a nucleic acid found in the NUCLEUS of eukaryotic cells or nucleoid region of prokaryotic cells where it functions to store or hold genetic information for the cell. On the other hand, RNA functions to carry the stored information in order to be expressed. Hence, according to this question, the nucleic acid functions to carry heredity information.
