MCQ
Which of the following is capable of self replication:
- AA protein molecule
- BA carbohydrate molecule
- CA water molecule
- ✓A nucleic acid
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
A nucleic acid
Miescher discovered nucleic acids from pus cells in discarded surgical bands.
He observed that these were acidic in nature.
The two types of nucleic acid were $\text{DNA}$ and $\text{RNA.}$
These are considered as the hereditary unit of the cell.
These carry characters from one generation to the other.
A nucleic acid molecule can act as genetic material because nucleic acids possess the ability of self$-$replication,
i.e., capacity to generate their own copies.
