Answer from: anashaye

Option C, The structure of proteins is determined by nucleic acids.

Explanation:

Both protein and nucleic acids have the same structural element. They both contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.

Nucleic acids are building blocks of body and both DNA and RNA are two forms of nucleic acid which leads to the formation of protein.

So, in terms of relationship it can be said that nucleic acid are involved in the production of protein.

Hence, option C is incorrect

Answer from: croxy0514

Proteins and nucleic acids are related because the structure of proteins is determined by nucleic acids.

Further ExplanationNucleic acidsNucleic acids are one of the four major bio-molecules in nature. Nuclei acids is divided into two; RNA and DNA.The building blocks of nucleic acids are Nucleotide bases which are made by a nitrogenous base, a sugar and a phosphate group.DNA DNA is a nuclei acid that is responsible for carrying genetic information in living organisms.It is through DNA that genetic information is passed from one organism to another through the process of DNA replication.Additionally, it carries the information that is used to make proteins which performs various functions in living cells.Each Nucleotide in DNA contains a nitrogenous base, a deoxyribose sugar, and a phosphate group.DNA molecules are made up of nitrogenous bases; Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine.

RNA

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a type of nucleic acid, a molecule that plays a major role in the flow of information from the DNA to the proteins. For a gene to be expressed information has to be passed through the RNA.Each nucleotide in RNA contains a nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar, and a phosphate group.Nitrogenous bases in RNA includes; Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and uracil. Thymine in DNA is replaced with Uracil.Proteins Proteins are one of the major biomolecules that exists in nature.They are made of amino acids which are the building blocks.Protein synthesisProteins synthesis occurs in ribosomes through a process known as translation. During translation the genetic code carried by the messenger RNA from the DNA through transcription is interpreted to code for specific amino acids. The amino acids are then joined to form proteins with the help of transfer RNA.
