What is the relationship between nucleic acids and DNA?

Answer 1

They are a type of nucleic acid.

Nucleic acids are a complex organic substance found in the nucleus of the body, which stores genetic information, usually in the form of #"DNA"# or #"RNA"#. They each thousands of #5#-carbon sugars, phosphate #(PO_4^(3-))# groups, and nitrogenous bases (adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, or uracil).

And so, #"DNA"# is considered to be a type of nucleic acid.
