Nucleic acids are composed of a series of:
A) Amino acids
B) Nucleotides
C) Nucleic chromosomes
D) Peptide chains
E) Sugars

Accepted Answer

Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, and peptide chains are formed by linking amino acids together. Nucleic chromosomes is not a recognized term in biology. Sugars may be a part of nucleotides, but they are not the defining feature of nucleic acids.
