How do DNA expand?
deoxy ribo nucleic acid
What is the substance of DNA?
deoxy-ribose nucleic acid
Does a Dna molecule contain sugar?
Yes, the sugar is called 2'-deoxy-ribose.
RNA differs from Dna in that it contains?
A Ribose sugar as 'opposed to' a 2'- deoxy - Ribose sugar.
The hereditary material of living things is?
Blood, water, mucus/flesh, bacterial growth/germs.
What is the term for DNA?
Deoxy Ribonucleic acid
How do DNA expand?
deoxy ribo nucleic acid
What is the substance of DNA?
deoxy-ribose nucleic acid
Is deoxyribose sugar DNA?
Yes DNA has deoxy-ribose sugar in their backbone (hence they are Deoxy ribo Nucleic Acids). whereas, RNA has the oxyribose sugar where the 2'-OH group intact.
What is the 2' deoxy-genated form of Ribose sugar called?
It is called 2' [prime] deoxy-Ribonucleic Acid - also known as Dna.
What do th letters DNA stand for?
Deoxy Ribo Nucleic acid
Where do you find nucleic acid?
In DNA! (AKA Deoxy RiboNUCLEIC acid.
Why is DNA such an important chemical?
DNA or deoxy ribonucleic acid is such an important chemical because,it could be used to identify a person,and you are what your DNA is.Thank you!
Nucleotides contain which sugars?
DNA is composed of deoxy ribose nucleotide (containing deoxy ribose sugars). Deoxy ribose sugar lacks an OH group at the 2' position RNA is composed of ribose nucleotides (containing ribose sugar)
What is in the RNA but not in DNA?
The Uracil base and oxygen (hence the D for DEOXY ribonucleic acid)
Does a Dna molecule contain sugar?
Yes, the sugar is called 2'-deoxy-ribose.
What are chromosomes made of?
They ARE specific coding sequences of 2'-Deoxy-Ribonucleic-Acid. Sweet Searching!
