What pathogen is a packet of proteins with no RNA or DNA?
Prions
Do prions only contain RNA?
yes
Is DNA found in all prions?
No, DNA is not found in any prions. Prions are just protein - they don't contain a nucleic acid.
Does paramyxovirus contain RNA or DNA?
RNA
How are DNA and RNA simular?
DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid RNA: ribonucleic acid Both DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides. They both contain a sugar-phosphate backbone (deoxyribose sugar in DNA, ribose sugar in RNA) and they both contain A, G, and C nitrogenous bases (additionally, T in DNA and U in RNA).
What pathogen is a packet of proteins with no RNA or DNA?
Prions
Would the concept that all infectious agents contain either DNA or RNA be considered a scientific fact theory hypothesis or model?
None of those. Prions are infectious protein molecules which do not contain DNA or RNA.
Do prions only contain RNA?
yes
Is DNA found in all prions?
No, DNA is not found in any prions. Prions are just protein - they don't contain a nucleic acid.
Does paramyxovirus contain RNA or DNA?
RNA
What basic structure do viruses share?
Unlike prions and viroids, viruses consist of two or three parts: all viruses have genes made from either DNA or RNA, long molecules that carry genetic information; all have a protein coat that protects these genes; and some have an envelope of fat that surrounds them when they are outside a cell. Viroids do not have a protein coat and prions contain no RNA or DNA. In short, just say that all viruses have a protein coat and either DNA or RNA.
3 DNA does NOT contain the nitrogen base?
DNA does not contain uracil. RNA does!! DNA contains guanine binds with Thymine in DNA RNA contains guanine that binds with uracil DNA does not contain uracil. RNA does!! DNA contains guanine binds with Thymine in DNA RNA contains guanine that binds with uracil
Does hpv contain DNA or rna?
DNA virus.
Does viruses contain RNA?
Some viruses contain RNA; these are known as retroviruses. Others contain DNA.
How are DNA and RNA simular?
DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid RNA: ribonucleic acid Both DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides. They both contain a sugar-phosphate backbone (deoxyribose sugar in DNA, ribose sugar in RNA) and they both contain A, G, and C nitrogenous bases (additionally, T in DNA and U in RNA).
What organic biomolecule is DNA and RNA?
DNA and RNA contain are made up of the biomolecule nucleic acids.
Is a phosphate DNA or RNA?
Both DNA and RNA contain a sugar phosphate group as the backbone to their structure. In DNA the sugar is deoxyribose, where as in RNA it is just ribose.
