Understanding Nucleic Acids

The video tutorial discusses nucleic acids, essential macromolecules in cells and viruses, responsible for storing and expressing genetic information. It covers their discovery, functions, types, and locations within cells. The tutorial also highlights the primary structure of nucleic acids and invites viewers to learn more about nucleotides in a subsequent video.
