The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the genetic material found in all living organisms and is found in the nucleus of eukaryotes and in the chloroplasts and mitochondria. In prokaryotes, the DNA is not enclosed in a membranous envelope.
A program written in a compiled language is first translated to machine language by another program called a compiler. The compiler parses each statement in the program and outputs an equivalent sequence of machine or assembly instructions.
#2. DaveC426913 Gold Member. Computers only understand one language: machine langauge: 01011101. Humans write programs in a 2nd generation language: assembly language (JMP 0061 00, MOV 2A1B 21A1, etc ). This forms a bridge that (a very few) humans can undestand and the computer can get instructions from.
