what are the functions of nucleic acids?

Accepted Answer

DNA.: Dna is the nucleic acid that contains all the genetic information.  It is transcribed into rna, another nucleic acid when genes are processed to make proteins.  Transfer RNA carries Amino Acids to sites where proteins are assembled.  Other rnas are involved in controlling which genes are turned on (micro rna) and in the structure of ribosomes.

Can be avoided: Acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) can cause severe hemolytic (i.e., breakdown of red blood cells with release of hemoglobin) anemia in certain individuals who are born with a deficiency in a particular enzyme (glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase -- g6pd), an enzyme needed for rbcs to function properly.  Once the triggers are identified (and avoided), you can lead a healthy and active life.
