What is the nucleic acid that carries genetic code?
In all cells it is DNA, in viruses it is sometimes DNA and sometimes RNA.
Does nucleic acid contain genetic code?
DNA does. RNA just sends out messages from DNA to the rest of the cell.
Is DNA genetic code or genetic blueprint?
DNA is the genetic code
Does prokaryotic cells use DNA to code genetic information?
Yes. With the exception of some viruses which use RNA, all organisms on Earth code their genetic information on DNA. In some cases prokaryotes use a modified genetic code where a few codons will have different meanings than they do in eukaryotes, but broadly speaking, the DNA genetic code is a universal feature of all known organisms.
What kind of genetic material do viruses have?
The genetic material that viruses have is RNA. Viruses are unable to truly carry out the processes associated with holding their own DNA.
What are viruses genetic materia?
Viruses contain either DNA or RNA.
Why do Bacteria differ from viruses because bacteria have?
Because bacteria have only DNA as genetic material but viruses have RNA or DNA as genetic material. viruses are harmful but most of the bacteria are useful.
What is copying the code and does it relate to DNA?
Copying the genetic code is called DNA replication. It relates to DNA in that DNA carries the genetic code.
Does eukaryotic plant cells have DNA?
Yes, eukaryotic plant cells have DNA. Everything that is considered 'alive' (animals, plants, fungus, bacteria, viruses etc) has some form of nucleic acid encoding their features. Most have double stranded DNA as their genetic code, but a few species (such as some types of viruses) have single-stranded DNA or RNA as their genetic code. Remember; if it has proteins, it MUST have DNA/RNA.
What are the Components of genetic code?
The genetic code is carried by the macromolecule DNA. In particular, the sequence of nitrogen bases on the DNA determines the genetic code.
Where is the Genetic code is caried?
DNA carries the genetic code.
What is the master copy of an organisms genetic code?
The master copy of an organism's genetic code is the DNA.
