What is the name of the substance that contains the instructions for life?
That is either DNA or RNA.
What is the chemical compound that carries the code of life?
a. RNA B. DNA C. PRO TINE D. CELLS
What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
What substance is found in RNA but not in DNA?
There are 2 main substances that separate RNA from DNA: ribose sugar, and uracil.All DNA/RNA molecules have a backbone made up of a repeating sequence of sugars and phosphorus. In DNA this sugar is deoxyribose, while in RNA the sugar is ribose. Ribose sugar is different from deoxyribose in that it has an extra oxygen on its second carbon (this is thought to possibly be one of the reasons RNA is less stable than DNA).The second substance that separates the two is uracil. Attached to the phosphosugar backbone of DNA/RNA are 4 bases. In DNA these are cytosine, guanine, adenine, and thymine (C, G, A and T). However, in RNA the 4 bases are slightly different; they are cytosine, guanine, adenine, and uracil. Uracil is a base that only existsin RNA, while thymine is one that only exists in DNA.
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
Which substance is a nucleic acid?
Yes, cells contain DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the nucleus, and RNA in the cytoplasm
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
A major difference in RNA as compared to DNA is?
RNA can move and DNA cant. DNA has a double helix strand and RNA is a single strand.
Are DNA and RNA carbohydrates?
Yes, DNA and RNA have different sugar . DNA contains deoxyribose sugar whereas RNA consists of ribose sugar, which are completely different from each other.
What two biomolecules can carry the genetic information for a virus?
DNA and RNA. Viruses that use RNA often have to have enzymes that convert the RNA to DNA.
What are the 4 substance of a cell?
Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic Acids (DNA, RNA, rRNA, tRNA, mRNA)
Which molecules is typically found in DNA but not RNA?
Thymine is found in DNA but not in RNA. Uracil replaces thymine in RNA. In other words: DNA has thymine. RNA has uracil.
