Verified answer

yes

NO - DNA is made UP of nucleic acids. NAs are the monomers in DNA, the building blocks that compose it. There are five nucleic acids: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), thymine (T; only found in DNA), and uracil (U; only found in RNA).

Is DNA a nucleic acid? That depends on the question.

My answer would be no, because a brick isn't a house, a note isn't a song, a leaf isn't a plant, and a cell isn't an organism. There are nucleic acids IN DNA, but DNA itself isn't one.

But that's really a stupid question, because that leads you to answer "yes", since DNA and nucleic acids are related concepts. It would really depend on the assignment. For example, is it asking you to say "a potato is a starch", or "meat is a protein"? In that case, the answer should be "yes" to the DNA question because they're asking about composition in general and not looking for specificity.

To be technical, though, the answer is "no".

Yes, because DNA IS Deoxyribonucleic acid :)

I don't think I spelt that right, but it definitely is a nucleic acid.

idk, DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid, so im going to guess yes.
