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.
What functional group phosphate is found in?
Deoxyribose (DNA) or Ribose (RNA)
What are examples of a phosphate group?
A biological molecule that contains a phosphate group are nucleotides. Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) consist of a five carbon sugar, an organic base, and a phosphate group.
What type of bond is formed between the hydroxyl group of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of an adjacent nucleotide forming the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA?
These types of chemical bonds are called covalent bonds. Note though that the sugar-phosphate backbone does not contain nucleotides - except as like a side branch.
What three things makes up a nucleic tides?
Nucleotides are the components from which nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are made. Each nucleotide consists of: * a 5 - carbon (pentose) sugar (ribose in RNA, deoxyribose in DNA) * a nitrogen-containing base (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine and uracil) * a phosphate group In DNA or RNA the phosphate groups link sugar molecules together to make up a polynucleotide. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleotide
Why primary RNA is unstable?
Uracil doesn't make RNA unstable. In fact, since it is one of the 4 Nitrogen bases that make up the nucleotides in RNA it is part of a building block of RNA. It helps keep RNA together. I hope that answers your question.
What chemical group is at the end of the 5 prime end of DNA strand?
5' - phosphate group 3' - hydroxyl group
Why does RNA polymerase work in direction 5' to 3' not from 3' to 5'?
Any polymerase (DNA or RNA) works in the 5`-3` direction (downstream) because the 3` end contains the hydroxyl groups. The 5` phosphate binds covalently with the 3` hydroxyl group forming a phospho diester linkage.
Does RNA contain a phosphate group like DNA?
yes , it contains a phosphate group.
Does messenger RNA have a phosphate group?
yes
Do both DNA and RNA nucleotides have a phosphate part?
Yes, they have a phosphate group.
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.
Is a nucleotide a subunit of RNA?
Simple Sugar, Phosphate Group, and nitrogenous base.
RNA is chemically similar to DNA except that the sugar in RNA has an additional?
The ribose sugar in RNA has an additional oxygen, which holds a hydrogen, thus making it a hydroxyl group.
What functional group phosphate is found in?
Deoxyribose (DNA) or Ribose (RNA)
What functional group is found in ATP?
adenine- amino phosphoanhydride hydroxyl
Phosphate groups can be esterified at any hydroxyl group on a pentose nucleotide What position is the most common?
5'
