Why can the structure of the DNA molecule be called a code?

The color of your eyes, hair etc. everything about us is written on our DNA. When it is replicated it is identical.


Is water the main ingredient in DNA?

I would say carbon since we are carbon based. Carbon us the backbone for everything organic that I know of.


What enzyme us used to make radioactively labeled DNA?

DNA polymerase


What is DNA and how is the double helix constructed?

DNA is something inside of you. We all have it. It is what makes us up. For example; our spit is DNA. Our cells are DNA. Even our skin is DNA. Everyones DNA is different. But families DNA is the most similar, because you are related, but still never the same. And as for a 'double helix constructed' it is a molecule that makes up two double helex or a spiril. (:


How are molecule and compounds related?

Molecules make up atoms that make up every thing around us including us.

Who provides internet backbone?

Gaint telecommunication companies provides internet backbone Internet backbone is a line through which all internet traffic of one country or many flows through.One of the companies i know provide internet backbone service in US is Google others that provide backbone service in US are AT&T,MCI,Sprint and CenturyLink.In 2010 most connected backbone was of Verzion


Why do viruses have high mutation rate?

Unprotected DNA subject to environmental insults, such as UV light, all the time and no repair mechanisms when the DNA us replicated in host cells. Plus RNA viruses have a much less stable molecule to use as a genetic receptacle than DNA viruses.


What does an invertebrate mean?

An inverterbrate has no backbone. Like a jellyfish is quite a good example. And a vertebrate has a backbone like us!!


Who were the 3 scientists to help us learn more about DNA?

Rosalind Franklin took an X-Ray of Deoxyribonucleic Acid. James Dewey Watson and Francis Harry Compton Crick developed the first model of the double-helix shape of the DNA molecule.


Is DNA bigger or smaller than a cell?

DNA is a molecule. This means that it is made from several atoms that link together. Well, it turns out that DNA is actually a really big molecule. Most molecules in creation are made of millions of atoms linked together! Hope this helps you :) Information found in: Exploring Creation with General Science, Apologia Educational Ministries.


What biological molecule is used to store genetic information?

The strands of the helix align so that the nucleotides face "up" on one side of the helix and "down" on the other side of the helix. Nitrogen bases in the two strands of the helix form hydrogen bonds with each other across the width of the molecule. On the DNA molecule an adenine (A) on one strand, always bonds with thymine (T)on the opposite strand. Likewise guanine (G) always hydrogen bonds with cytosine(C)The term complimentary is always used to describe these pairings. For example, A is complementary to T and C is complementary to G. The overall appearance of the DNA molecule is very similar to a rope ladder that is twisted, with the hand rails of the ladder composed of sugar phosphate backbone and the rungs of the ladder composed of paired nitrogenous bases.Thank you for telling us what DNA looks like. Now try to answer the question.How does DNA store info?
