DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid) and RNA (RiboNucleic Acid) are nucleic acids. They are composed of bases Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine in DNA. In RNA Cytosine is replaced by Uracil. DNA and RNA can be double stranded or single stranded.

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.
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 main characteristics of DNA and rna?
DNA is double stranded while RNA is single stranded. DNA uses thymine but RNA uses uracil.
What enzyme matches RNA nucleotides to complementary DNA nucleotides?
RNA polymerase
Are DNA and RNA inorganic or organic compounds?
DNA and RNA are examples of the organic compound called nucleic acids. Other organic compounds include carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
A major difference in RNA as compared to DNA is the presence of the sugar?
DNA and RNA are similar compounds with a few differences. In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose; in RNA, it is ribose.
What are organic compounds are DNA and RNA?
DNA and RNA are both nucleic acids - chains of nucleotides. This is evident from their names (deoxyribonucleic acid - DNA, and ribonucleic acid - RNA).
Is the only kind of nucleic acid DNA?
No, there is also, "RNA".
What are all compounds composed of?
A typical virus is composed of a core of DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat.
DNA RNA and starch What do these three important biomolecules have in common?
They are all organic compounds, called biomolecules.
What are two types of nucleic acid found the cell?
Deoxy-ribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
What kind strand represent acguugcacgu?
single stranded RNA
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.
In DNA where does the RNA attach during protein construction?
DNA is transcribed to RNA and a bunch of things happen and then that RNA binds to another kind of RNA that makes use of another RNA that brings in Amino Acids to the A, P, and E sites of the Ribosomal unit.
What are Four compounds that make up life?
Four basic molecules are Carbohydrates, Lipids, Protein, and DNA/RNA
What acid accumulates in the cells?
DNA and RNA are weakly acidic compounds which are present in living cells.
