Dna is a nucleic acid that consists of thousands of smaller, repeating units called nucleotides.
what function do nucleic acids serve besides storing genetic information?

Besides storing genetic information, nucleic acids helps in

Understanding diseases

Creation of proteins

Transmission of information

Explanation:

Understanding diseases

Knowledge about the nucleic acids and their mechanism of action helps in understanding the causes of a disease and the possible cure for the disease. A genetic disease is caused when there is a faulty gene, which is made up of nucleic acids, is present in the genome. These genes will make faulty RNA's which will result in the establishment of faulty proteins. Hence, by having understanding about nucleic acids, diseases can be studies and cured.

Creation of proteins

The information from the DNA is coded by the mRNA which is used to make proteins.

Transmission of information

Apart from storing information, the nucleic acids such as the DNA are also involved in the transmission of information.
