C. Nucleic acids

Nucleic acids include DNA & RNA, which contain our genetic code. This code is required for the functioning of our cells and all of our inherited characteristics.

Monomers nucleic acids are called nucleotides (nucleotides are made up of a 5 carbon, sugar, phosphate group & a nitrogenous base)
