Reading the endoplasmic reticulum in DNA helps scientists in determining whether a virus or disease exists in the strain. This is important when early detection is needed for sickle cell or cancer.

Is the endoplasmic reticulum made up of DNA?

No.


What is the function of Rough endoplasmic reticulum in animal cell?

The rough endoplasmic reticulum in animal cells is involved in protein synthesis. It has ribosomes attached to its surface which help in the translation of mRNA into proteins. These proteins are then modified and transported to other parts of the cell.


Does endoplasmic reticulum store DNA?

No, the Golgi body does not store DNA. It receives lipids and proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum and then sorts them and packs them into vesicles. The vesicles are then sent out to the body.


What is the period of time when a cell grows and copies its DNA called?

endoplasmic reticulum


A cell's nucleus contains DNA which carries genetic material with?

the endoplasmic reticulum(ER)


What is the short name for endoplasmic reticulum?

The term "endoplasmic reticulum" is often abbreviated to ER.However, this is an unofficial piece of shorthand. It cannot be introduced without explanation, unlike, say, DNA or ATP.


Does the endoplasmic reticulum store DNA?

No - DNA is in the nucleus and the ER is in the cytoplasm outside the nucleus. Some ER does have ribosomal RNA attached to it, but not DNA.


Does the nucleus make RNA?

No. The DNA is copied by ribosomes in the endoplasmic reticulum to form the RNA strands.


What does each organelle have?

Chloroplast - photosynthesis Endoplasmic Reticulum - translation and folding of new proteins (rough endoplasmic reticulum), expression of lipids (smooth endoplasmic reticulum) Golgi Apparatus - sorting and modification of proteins Mitochondrion - energy production Vacuole - storage, homeostasis Nucleus - DNA maintenance, RNA transcription


What do all humans have in commons?

DNA, Nucleus, Mitochondria, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Ribosome, Cell wall, Golgi Complex


DNA and ribosomes are found in where?

The DNA is found in the cells nucleus unless the cell is a prokaryotic cell, which then the DNA is freely floating in the cytoplasm. Ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm and on the endoplasmic reticulum.


Where are DNA and ribosomes found?

DNA is found in the nucleus of a cell, while ribosomes can be found in both the cytoplasm of the cell and on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
