Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that DNA and RNA are both essential molecules involved in the storage and transmission of genetic information in living organisms.
Recall the four major types of biomolecules: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Recognize that proteins are made of amino acids and serve as enzymes and structural components, carbohydrates are sugars and energy sources, and lipids are fats and membrane components.
Identify that nucleic acids are biomolecules specifically responsible for storing genetic information, which includes DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Conclude that since DNA and RNA carry genetic information, they belong to the class of biomolecules called nucleic acids.
