Does a polio virus contain DNA or RNA?
The influenza virus contains Both DNA and RNA.Its an exception.
Does Avian flu have RNA or DNA?
All flu viruses regardless of type or origin contain 6 to 8 segments of linear negative-sense single stranded RNA.
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.
Is avian flu DNA or RNA?
The virus has DNA as its genetic material. More interesting, the DNA is single-stranded. "Parvo" is short for "parvovirus" and usually "canine parvovirus type 2."
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.
Why is it important for RNA to be smaller then DNA?
Because RNA is the replication of DNA.
