The acid-soluble component of live tissue contains nucleic acids. They are deoxyribonucleotide or ribonucleotide linear polymers. A nucleotide is made up of three different parts. DNA is a double-stranded structure made up of deoxyribonucleotide polymers. The nucleic acid backbone is made up of alternating pentose sugar and phosphate groups.  he steps consist of the nitrogenous bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine, as well as hydrogen bonds, holding two strands together. Two strands are mutually complementary. They operate in an antiparallel fashion. All organisms include genetic material. It can replicate. At one end of the strand, 5-c of pentose sugar is free; at the other end, pentose's third carbon is free.
