Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.
DNA nucleotides contain the sugar deoxyribose. RNA nucleotides contain the sugar ribose. DNA contains the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. RNA contains the same nitrogen bases, except for thymine. RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil in place of thymine. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, whereas RNA is single-stranded.
There are two strands of DNA in a DNA double helix, each consisting of many nucleotide subunits. They are like building blocks that make up the DNA molecule, which would then be like a block tower. A 'strand of nucleotides' as you put it would basically be a DNA molecule (if they are deoxyribose nucleotides) or if they are ribose nucleotides, they would be a RNA molecule. DNA can come in double stranded helices (most of the time) or can be single stranded (as in some viruses).
There are some differences between DNA and RNA 1) RNA is usually single stranded whereas DNA is double stranded 2) DNA ( Deoxyribosenucleic acid) has one less oxygen atom than RNA (Ribosenucleic acid) 3) The nucleotides in DNA differ from an RNA strand as DNA contains a Thymine nucleotide and RNA contains an Uracil nucleotide.
DNA is usually double stranded and RNA is usually single stranded but there are exections to both cases
Yes, RNA molecules are made of nucleotides.
30 percent
Yes, DNA is double-stranded.There are two strands. Each one is a polymer (series) of nucleotides, and the two strands twine round one another to form the DNA molecule.
If you are talking about the base pairing between the two strands of double stranded DNA, then it is H-bond.
DNA nucleotides contain the sugar deoxyribose. RNA nucleotides contain the sugar ribose. DNA contains the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. RNA contains the same nitrogen bases, except for thymine. RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil in place of thymine. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, whereas RNA is single-stranded.
The mRNA molecule encodes the protein product in the cell for translation. It is a double stranded, base-paired, ribonucleic acid that typically encodes a single gene, or protein, product.
Nitrogen Containing Base This molecule is called DeoxyriboNucleic Acid. (DNA). Genetic information is found as a sequence of nucleotides (guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine)using the letters G, A, T, and C. Most DNA molecules are double-stranded helices (twisted ladders), consisting of two long repeating simple units called nucleotides plus molecules with backbones made of alternating sugars (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups with the bases G, A, T, C attached to the sugars.
One difference is due to their nitrogen bases. RNA's bases are adenine (A), uracil (U), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). DNA's bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). Another difference is that DNA is a double-stranded molecule with a long chain of nucleotides, while RNA is a single-stranded molecule with a shorter chain of nucleotides.
