Answer:

Nucleic acids direct the synthesis amino acids, which are building blocks of proteins

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are polynucleotides made up of monomers called nucleotides.  RNA and DNA are the two types of nucleic acids. The nucleotides they are made up of are composed of the pentose sugar (deoxyribose or Ribose), phosphate group and nitrogenous bases (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine/Uracil). Proteins are also polymers that are made up of monomers called amino acids joined together in a long chain.

DNA (nucleic acid) is the storage molecule of the genetic material in cells of living organism. This genetic material (DNA) contains segments that encodes functional products (proteins). The genetic material is expressed through the processes of transcription (DNA is used to synthesize RNA) and translation (RNA directs the synthesis of amino acids, which are arranged in a sequence to produce a particular protein).

In a nutshell, the nucleic acid (RNA and DNA) encodes or contains information for the synthesis of proteins.

What is the role of NaCl and edta in DNA isolation?
Alex

Negatively charged phosphates on DNA cause molecules to repel each other. The Na+ ions will form an ionic bond with the negatively charged phosphates on the DNA, neutralizing the negative charges and allowing the DNA molecules to come together</span>

A hero without strength is not possible, when José Arcadio is in full age and, he must still retain characteristics of Youth, in Summarizing what was wanted to stand out, was that this character still retained his young and huge forces.
