∙ 9y agoNucleic acids are composed of nucleotide monomers. Nucloeotide has parts:
1.Nitrogenous base: .Adenine.Guanine.Cytosine.Thymine(present in DNA only).Uracil (present in RNA only)
2.5-carbon sugar which is called deoxyribose (found in DNA) and ribose (found in RNA).
3.One or more phosphate groups

∙ 13y agoNucleic acids are DNA and RNA. They are both made up of nucleotides which are composed of:
1) 5 carbon sugar ring
2) Phosphate group
3) Nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, uracil)

∙ 8y agoThere are two nucleic acids:
DNA is a pattern made up of four different nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar (deoxyribose) in the middle of a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base .
There are two classes of bases. Two are purines (double-ringed structures) and two are pyrimidines (single-ringed structures).
The four bases in DNA's alphabet are:
adenine (A) - a purine
cytosine(C) - a pyrimidine
guanine (G) - a purine
thymine (T) - a pyrimidine
In both DNA and RNA there are four major bases. However, RNA has the first three plus uracil. The substitution of uracil for thymine as a base material constitutes the chief chemical difference between RNA and DNA.

Give the name that which acid is present in chromosomes?
Nucleic acid.
What is the nucleic acid core in a virus called?
the "core" of a virus is the nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) that makes up the viral genome. this core contains all the genetic information of that virus, and is enclosed within the protein coat known as the capsid.
Nucleic acid are composed of units called?
nucleotides.
What is the protein coat that surrounds a virus called?
The protein coat surrounding the nucleic acid of a virus is called the capsid. These are broadly classified according to their structures. Helical (cylindrical) and icosahedral (spherical) are the most common types.
How did scientists convert information when using reverse transcriptase insulin research?
from amino acid to nucleic acids
What structures are found in all viruses?
protein coat and nucleic acid
What is the main purpose of the nucleic acid?
Nucleic acid carries genetic information and form structures within cells.
What type of biological molecule is DNA?
It is a nucleic acid (and specifically, deoxyribose nucleic acid).
What is the nucleic acid structures in order of size form largest to?
nucleotide, codon, gene, chromosome
What is the full name for DNA and RNA?
DNA- Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid RNA-Ribo Nucleic Acid
What 2 structures do all viruses have?
All viruses have nucleic acid and a protien coat called a capsid
Is DNA a amino acid or is it a nucleic acid?
A nucleic acid.
What is the difference between deoxyribose nucleic acid and deoxypentose nucleic acid?
Deoxypentose nucleic acid is a former term for deoxyribose nucleic acid. It is the same.
What are the two structures that all viruses have in common?
RNA (Ribo-nucleic Acid) and a Protein coat called the capsid.
What two nucleic acids are found in organisms?
A nucleic acid is a macromolecule composed of chains of monomeric nucleotides. In biochemistry these molecules carry genetic information or form structures within cells. The most common nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). 2 examples of nucleic acids as said before are DNA and RNA.
What is RNA an example of?
nucleic acid
What type of molecule stores genetic information on living things. Includes DNA and RNA?
DNA and RNA are stored inside chromosomes. These threadlike structures of nucleic acids carry the genetic information in the form of genes.
