1. A method for removing a nucleic acid contained in cell extract, comprising:
mixing a nucleic acid adsorbent with a first solution containing the nucleic acid, the nucleic acid adsorbent comprising a polymer immobilized on a water-insoluble carrier; and
separating from the cell extract, the nucleic acid adsorbent that has adsorbed the nucleic acid,
wherein the constitutional unit of the polymer is represented by the following formula (I):
