DNA
|
nucleic acid that carries the genetic information in the cell and is capable of self-replication and synthesis of RNA.

|
RNA
|
polymeric constituent of all living cells and many viruses, consisting of a long, usually single-stranded chain of alternating phosphate and ribose units with the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil bonded to the ribose.
