What else can I help you with?
What is the chemical that stores information inside cells?
Dna/rna
DNA and RNA are named by their?
structure of chemical compounds. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and RNA stands for ribonucleic acid.
In what ways do the chemical structures of DNA and rna differ?
One of the major differences between DNA and RNA is the sugar, with 2-deoxyribose replaced by ribose in RNA. From ChaCha!
What is the chemical compound that carries the code of life?
a. RNA B. DNA C. PRO TINE D. CELLS
A chemical element found in all DNA and rna bases?
carbonhydrogennitrogenoxygen
What part of the DNA molecules is DNA named after?
DNA is named DNA because it is de-oxy ribo nucleic acid. In contrast to RNA, DNA doesnt have 2'-oxygen in the ribose sugar hence it is stable than RNA. Chemically DNA is the same for any genes that code for different proteins.
Produces The RNA primer required for DNA replication to begin?
Primase is the enzyme responsible for synthesizing the short RNA primers required for DNA replication to initiate. These RNA primers provide a starting point for DNA polymerase to begin synthesizing new DNA strands. Once the DNA strands have been synthesized, the RNA primers are removed and replaced with DNA nucleotides by DNA polymerase.
What chemical links the worlds of DNA and proteins?
The chemical link between DNA and proteins is messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized by a process called translation. This enables the interaction between the genetic code in DNA and the amino acid sequence in proteins.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
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 deoxyribose a simple sugar that is part of RNA?
Deoxyribose is more stable! If you look at the structure of ribose in RNA you see that it has OH Groups at C2 and C3, both of which are reactive. We need the one at C3 to react with the next phosphate, but C2 can only lead to crosslinking; damaging the structure. If this happens to RNA its not a big deal for we can always produce another strand. If its DNA its a serious mutation, so cells have to use deoxyribose for DNA for it doesnt have a free OH at C2. Deoxyribose is produced from ribose. Using deoxyribose for RNA is an unnecessary waste of energy; the crosslinking doesnt happen that often anyway.
What are the 30 differences between DNA and RNA?
Comparing DNA and RNA, some key differences include: DNA is double-stranded, while RNA is single-stranded; DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, RNA contains ribose sugar; DNA has thymine base, RNA has uracil base; DNA is found in the nucleus, RNA is found in the cytoplasm; DNA is stable, RNA is less stable; DNA is the genetic material, RNA is involved in protein synthesis. These are just a few of the many distinctions between DNA and RNA.
