What are two main functions of nucleic acids?
Nucleic acids actually have 4 functions: 1 for DNA and 1 for each type of RNA. For DNA, nucleic acids are responsible for storing and replicating genetic information For rRNA (ribosomal RNA), nucleic acids are responsible for the basis of the structure and function of ribosomes For mRNA (messenger RNA), nucleic acids are responsible carrying messages through the cell For tRNA (transfer RNA), nucleic acids are responsible for carrying amino acids
How many different nitrogenous bases are found in nucleic acids?
There is a set of 5 nitrogenous bases used in the construction of nucleic acids.
Carbon compound that stores and transmits genetic information?
Nucleic acids are carbon compounds that store and transmit genetic information. They include:Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)Ribonucleic acid (messenger,transfer) (RNA)proteins (in the case of prions)
What part of nucleic acid allows it to be used to form a code?
The form of nucleic acid that allows it to be used as a code is DNA. This is because DNA is the genetic code for everyone's genetic make up.
What part of a nucleic acid allows it to be used to form code?

Why nucleic acid is called nucleic acid?
Because it is used in the nucleus of a cell.
What is the full name for mRNA?
RNA: Ribo Nucleic Acid mRNA: Messenger Ribo Nucleic Acid tRNA: Transfer Ribo Nucleic Acid
Would Nucleic acid amplification be used for the detection or collection of radiological material?
no Nucleic acid amplification wouldnt

What Reads the blueprint and brings and inserts correct amino acid in making a protein sequence?
tRNA (transfer ribose nucleic acid.)
What two nucleic acids are involved in transcription?
The nucleotides that are involved in transcription are known as uracil (U). This is what will be used in the RNA transcription to the ribosomes.

What does a nucleic acid perform in a cell?
nucleic acid makes up the cell's DNA which is used for cell reproduction and for giving the cell instructions on what do .
What is nucleic acid used for?
it is used for proteins & DNA&RNA BUT ALWAYS MOVEING AROUND
Can nucleic acids be detected by the ELISA format?
No, ELISA would not be able to detect the presence of nucleic acids. As ELISA uses a antibodies to detect the presence of a antigen. Hence as the nucleic acid is within the cell (nucleus), the antibody used does not attach themselves to the nucleic acid but to the antigen.
What is the message that messenger RNA carries to the cytoplasm?
Messenger RNA is copied (transcribed) from DNA. It carries a special nucleic acid code (template) that is used by Transfer RNA to synthesize proteins. It takes three adjacent nucleic acids in the Messenger RNA template to code one Amino Acid in a protein.
