Does adenine nuleotide occur in DNA but not in RNA molecules?
Adenine occurs in both RNA and DNA molecules. It is uracil that replaces thymine in the RNA molecule.
What type of carbon based molecule are DNA and RNA?
A carbon based molecule is a polymer. Edit: A carbon based molecule does not have to be a polymer, although some polymers are carbon based. For example methane - CH4 is carbon based and not a polymer. Carbon based molecules are called organic compounds.
How can you distinguish a DNA nucleotide from an RNA nucleotide?
The key difference between a DNA nucleotide and an RNA nucleotide is their five-carbon sugar molecules. One component of RNA is the five-carbon sugar ribose, C5H10O5. Alternatively, in DNA, the five-carbon sugar deoxyribose (C5H10O4) has one fewer oxygen atom. Another difference is in the nitrogenous bases of some DNA and RNA nucleotides. The nitrogenous base uracil (U) is unique to RNA nucleotides. Similarly, the nitrogenous base thymine (T) is unique to DNA nucleotides.
Which molecules is typically found in DNA but not RNA?
Thymine is found in DNA but not in RNA. Uracil replaces thymine in RNA. In other words: DNA has thymine. RNA has uracil.
Which of the nucleotides occurs in DNA molecules but not in RNA molecules?
Thymine
Are replicators DNA or RNA?
DNA are replicator molecules. DNA molecules are able to male copies of themselves in a process called DNA replication. RNA molecules however, are synthesized using a DNA template through a process called transcription
Which base is found in DNA nucleotides but not RNA molecules?
DNA contains thymine, but RNA has uracil in its place.
Five carbon sugar found DNA and RNA?
In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose. In RNA, it is ribose.
Which organic molecules contain genetic information in the form if DNA or RNA?
All living things have DNA or rna
What four organic molecules common to organisms?
Organisms are composed of organic, that is carbon containing molecules. Glucose (C6H12O6) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), carbon dioxide (CO2), and DNA/RNA macromolecules are such organics.
What 5 carbon sugar that makes up RNA and DNA?
In DNA the five-carbon sugar is deoxyribose. In RNA the five-carbon sugar is ribose.
What other molecules are needed for DNA to make proteins?
In addition to DNA, messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA, and transfer RNA are needed to make proteins.
