Answer:

II. Both DNA, which stores genetic information and encodes protein sequences, and RNA, which is involved in the direct production of proteins, are nucleic acids.

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules for all living organisms. They carry genetic information and decode the production of proteins, necessary for the cell to reproduce. While they are formed of five-carbon sugars, a nitrogenous base they only have one phosphate group. They do not store energy. Also, glucose, cellulose and starch are not nucleic acids, they are carbohydrates.

Why are fungi fossils so rare?
Volgvan
The reason as to why fungi fossils seem so rare is that they are usually microscopic and often difficult or impossible to identify. Not much information on fungi fossils has been documented. This could be because fungi fruiting bodies consist of soft, fleshy and easily degradable tissues which due to their poor integrity do not keep or preserve as well as animal tissue. Even when available, it takes a trained eye to recognize fungal fossils. Not many people have the training and expertise to recognize the fossils.
