What three basic molecules are nucleotides composed of?
A phosphate group, a sugar and a nitrogenous base
DNA is built of billions of subunits called what?
DNA is built of billions of subunits called nucleotides. Nucleotides are organic compounds that are made up of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group. The possible nitrogenous bases include: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.
DNA is built of billions of subunits called?
Nucleic acids consist of either one or two long chains of repeating units called nucleotides, which consist of a nitrogen base (a purine or pyrimidine) attached to a sugar phosphate.
The process by which DNA polymerase is able to correct mismatched nucleotides is called?
The process by which DNA polymerase is able to correct mismatched nucleotides is called proofreading. DNA polymerase has a built-in proofreading mechanism that allows it to recognize and remove incorrect nucleotides during DNA replication, thereby increasing the accuracy of DNA synthesis.
Which nucleotides are used to build RNA?
ribose sugar and the neucleotides like adenine,guanine,cytocile and uracile
How is a DNA molecule built up?
polymeres of nucleotides. there are four types 1. adenine 2.thymine 3.cytosine 4.guanine
Do nucleotides only pair with certain other nucleotides based on their properties?
Yes, nucleotides pair with specific complementary nucleotides based on their chemical properties.
Which base is found on DNA nucleotides but not rna nucleotides?
Thymine is found on DNA nucleotides but not on RNA nucleotides. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.
Purine nucleotides mainly differ from pyrimidine nucleotides in their number of?
Purine nucleotides differ from pyrimidine nucleotides in their structure due to the number of nitrogen-containing rings they have. Purine nucleotides have a double-ring structure, while pyrimidine nucleotides have a single-ring structure.
Nucleic acid are composed of units called?
nucleotides.
What are the monomers of DNA made of?
its made up of nucleotides
How is DNA built from 3 to 5?
DNA is built from 3' to 5' by adding nucleotides in a specific order, with each new nucleotide being attached to the 3' end of the growing DNA strand. This process is carried out by enzymes called DNA polymerases.
