Can eukaryotes have DNA as their genetic material?
Yes, eukaryotes have a nucleus which contains the genetic materials such as DNA and other protein complexes.
What is inserting specific genetic material into the genetic material of another organism called?
Gene transfer, this type of process is mostly covered in the topic of genetic engineering
Is protein and DNA the same?
No. DNA is genetic material that carries the instructions for making proteins.
Where is the genetic materials of a viral located?
Genetic material of a virus it can be DNA or RNA.
Is the genetic material in a virus inside or outside the protein parts?
Inside the protein part... The genetic material is sorrounded by the protein :):)
How is the the genetic material used to make a protein?
genetic material is a cell that can be turn into a amino acid to a protein.
Is the genetic material in a virus inside or outside the proteins parts?
Inside the protein part... The genetic material is sorrounded by the protein :):)
What is the antonym for genetic material?
The protein sequence.
Who determines the genetic material used to make a protein?
scientists
When the genetic material was first being isolated and studied there was a controversy about it being DNA or protein-- those that backed protein as the genetic material almost got it right-- explain?
Scientists thought genetic material was a protein not DNA because there are 20 different amino acids for a building of a protein polymer, while DNA polymers only have 4 nucleotide bases.
A tiny fragment of genetic material wrapped inside a capsul of protein is called what?
Protective protein coat
Many scientists think genetic material was composed of protein because?
Protein was originally thought to be the genetic material because of its complexity, protein is made up 20 different amino acids while DNA only consists of four bases. This was logical as the complexity would account for diversity in organisms. But after more research was done it was realized that DNA was actually the genetic material.
Is not a living thing. It is made of genetic material inside a protein coat?
Virus
What macromolecules that function as the genetic material and are involved in protein systhesis are?
nucleic acids
