What elements are found in DNA and rna?

DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids composed of four key elements: carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N). Additionally, DNA contains phosphorus (P) as part of its backbone, while RNA also includes ribose as its sugar component, differing from the deoxyribose found in DNA. These elements come together to form nucleotides, which are the building blocks of both DNA and RNA.


What separates DNA strands when DNA copies itself?

Topoisomerase is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA during replication. It binds to the DNA, and separates the double strands and form a replication fork. After which the primer bind to the start site, and DNA polymerase starts DNA synthesis.


What does the letter P in DNA stand for?

P stands for phosphorus. DNA has a backbone made up of phosphate groups linked to deoxyribose sugars through phosphodiester bonds


The location where DNA polymerase attaches to the DNA strand?

DNA polymerase attaches to the DNA strand at a specific region called the origin of replication. This is where the double-stranded DNA is unwound, creating two template strands for DNA synthesis to occur. DNA polymerase then begins replicating the DNA in a 5' to 3' direction.


How is RNA polymerase used in RNA?

From the Biology book I have studied in my 9th grade schooling...RNA polymerase is an enzyme much like that of DNA polymerase. Both enzymes, RNA and DNA polymerase, "unzip" the DNA.

What contains phosphate DNA or RNA?

Both ! Both are made of nucleotides : phosphate-ribose-nucleic acid. The strands are made by the linkage of phosphates on riboses : P-ribose-P-ribose-P-ribose-P-ribose-etc. The difference between DNA and RNA is that the ribose molecule is dehydrated (DNA) or not (RNA). DNA means DeoxyriboNucleic Acid RNA means RiboNucleic Acid


When do strands of DNA form chromosomes?

When dividing to create genes for offspring. :p


Why removing RNA from DNA preparation?

When making DNA preparation why do you need RNA? :P Ya it is done because it may interfere with your next experiments.


In DNA where does the RNA attach during protein construction?

DNA is transcribed to RNA and a bunch of things happen and then that RNA binds to another kind of RNA that makes use of another RNA that brings in Amino Acids to the A, P, and E sites of the Ribosomal unit.

What are two kinds of RNA?

There are lots of kinds with different functions, but main types are: 1. Regulatory RNAs 2. RNAs of transcription and DNA replication 3. RNAs involved in protein synthesis 4. Parasitic RNAs those are coding RNAs, there are also non-coding RNAs (ncRNA).

What do bases P S and A base represent?

Base P typically represents the phosphate group in biochemistry, base S represents the sugar molecule (such as ribose or deoxyribose), and base A represents adenine, which is one of the four nitrogenous bases in DNA and RNA. Together, they form the building blocks of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA.
