Nucleic acid Evolution

Nucleic acid metabolism is the process by which nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are synthesized and degraded. Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides. Nucleotide synthesis is an anabolic mechanism generally involving the chemical reaction of phosphate, pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The ordered assembly of deoxyribonucleotides into DNA and of ribonucleotides into RNA involves somewhat simpler cellular mechanisms than the correct assembly of the amino acids in a protein chain.
