Answer: Nucleic acids are synthesized in the nucleus.
Explanation: There are basically two types of nucleic acids: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Nucleic acids are synthesized in the nucleus thus the name "nucleic" acid. DNA is the genetic material found in the nucleus of a cell and new DNA strands are synthesized in the nucleus from existing DNA in the process of replication in a semiconservative fashion. RNA are synthesized from the DNA in the nucleus in a process called transcription. Transcription is a process of copying the genetic message contained in the DNA into RNA.
