An anticodon is found on what nucleic acid?
An anticodon is found on transfer RNA (tRNA). The anticodon is a three-nucleotide sequence that is complementary to a specific codon on messenger RNA (mRNA). This complementary pairing allows tRNA to bring the correct amino acid to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
What are the functions for the four biochemicals?
Lipids, proteins, nucleic acid, and carbohydrates
Why are nucleic acids considered molecules of heredity?
because Deoxy Nucleic Acid and Ribo Nucleic Acid are made of Nucleic acid (DNA and RNA)
What kind of acid is in a molecule that carries a genetic information?
Nucleic acids:Deoxyribose Nucleic AcidRibose Nucleic Acid
Is RNA is carbohydrate protein lipid or nucleic acid?
DNA is considered a type of nucleic acid. These acids are polymeric macromolecules that are required for life. RNA, is another type of nucleic acid.
Nucleic acid hybridization is based upon the fact that?
The correct answer is: pairing between complementary bases occurs

Why does a DNA probe bind only to a specific chromosome location?
The concept is known as "immensely specific homologous Base Pairing" between two nucleic acid strands [that are distinct only due to their separation] and between complementary nucleic acid sequences (of varying Lengths). Yes, Rna and Dna may homologous Base pair.
Type of nucleic acid that passes from parent to offspring and directs all the cells functions?
Type of nucleic acid that passes from parent to offspring and directs all the cell's functions?
What are the functions for the four biochemicals?
Lipids, proteins, nucleic acid, and carbohydrates
Do cells need nucleic acid to carry out all life functions?
yes
What are complementary bases write out the whole word?
Complimentary bases is a term used in Molecular Biology to describe the properties between two nucleic acid; the degree to which they are complementary is varied.
What type of biological molecule is DNA?
It is a nucleic acid (and specifically, deoxyribose nucleic acid).
What is the full name for DNA and RNA?
DNA- Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid RNA-Ribo Nucleic Acid
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 is RNA an example of?
nucleic acid
