Nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are the macromolecules present in all living cell. Freidrich Miescher was the first person isolated the nucleic acids from the pus cells. He called it as nuclein. As it has an acidic nature, hence Altmann called it as nucleic acids. The two types of nucleic acids found in living organisms are, Deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] Ribonucleic acid [RNA].
Deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] DNA is the genetic material of all living organisms. This carries the coded information from one generation to another generation. It is a long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides. The length of the DNA depends on, number of nucleotide pair present in it. In eukaryotic cell DNA is found nucleus. It is the chief component of chromosomes. DNA also found in the mitochondria and chloroplasts
