What are the role of pentoses in DNA and RNA molecules?
They (along with the phosphate group) create the backbone that holds the nitrogenous bases in place.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
A major difference in RNA as compared to DNA is?
RNA can move and DNA cant. DNA has a double helix strand and RNA is a single strand.
What two biomolecules can carry the genetic information for a virus?
DNA and RNA. Viruses that use RNA often have to have enzymes that convert the RNA to DNA.
What are the main characteristics of DNA and rna?
DNA is double stranded while RNA is single stranded. DNA uses thymine but RNA uses uracil.
What are the role of pentoses in DNA and RNA molecules?
They (along with the phosphate group) create the backbone that holds the nitrogenous bases in place.
What is the pentoses sugar in the rna?
ribose
What are examples of pentoses?
Pentose sugars are sugars that contain 5 carbon atoms. Two most common examples are ribose (RNA component) and deoxyribose (DNA component)Also arabinos,xyluse,ribulose
What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
A major difference in RNA as compared to DNA is?
RNA can move and DNA cant. DNA has a double helix strand and RNA is a single strand.
What is the substance in RNA but not DNA?
An uracil base is in RNA but not in DNA
Are DNA and RNA carbohydrates?
Yes, DNA and RNA have different sugar . DNA contains deoxyribose sugar whereas RNA consists of ribose sugar, which are completely different from each other.
What two biomolecules can carry the genetic information for a virus?
DNA and RNA. Viruses that use RNA often have to have enzymes that convert the RNA to DNA.
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.
Is DNA shorter then RNA?
No... DNA is much longer than RNA.
