What organic acid and polymer is composed of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine). It is the genetic material of most organisms, existing as a double stranded molecule that is held together by hydrogen bonds?

• Amino Acid
• DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
• RNA (ribonucleic acid)
• Enzyme

What organic acid and polymer is composed of a single strand of nucleotides that consist of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, uracil, cytosine, guanine). It acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes and carries out the process of protein synthesis?
