The thin strands in the nucleus that contain genetic material are called chromosomes. Chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins, and contain the genes that determine an individual's traits.
carries the genetic material of the individual in haploid number of chromosome.
The nucleus is responsible for storing genetic material and coordinating cellular activities. The function of the nucleus is not performed by any single structure in prokaryotic cells, but instead, the genetic material is located in the nucleoid region.
A sinlge drop of blood or a strand of your hair is more tha enough to get your genetic code.
No, not true. Pro = before karyote = kernel, which metaphorically translates to nucleus So, " before the nucleus " means prokaryotes do not have a nucleus and their genetic material is diffused throughout the cell in circular DNA and small plasmids of DNA.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) travels from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm to deliver genetic information from a strand of DNA. It carries the instructions encoded in DNA to the ribosomes, where they are translated into proteins.
During 5 to 3 replication, DNA is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction, which allows for the accurate duplication of genetic material. This process ensures that the new DNA strand is complementary to the original strand, resulting in an exact copy of the genetic information.
Retroviruses. They have genetic material of RNAand need the enzyme reverse transcriptase to transcribe a DNA strand from their RNA genetic material. Then another strand and then this is inserted into the hosts DNA to begin a lysogenic cycle.
Transcription is the process where RNA polymerase uses the genetic information in DNA to synthesize a complementary strand of mRNA. This process occurs in the cell nucleus and is a key step in gene expression.
mRNA transcribes genetic code in the cell nucleus. The process of transcription occurs when the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to a specific region of DNA, copies the genetic information, and creates a complementary mRNA strand.
While it may be true that bacteria do not have nuclei like the other kingdom's of life, they still have genetic material, often as a singular circular strand. In addition, some bacteria contain smaller additional strands of circular DNA called plasmids that allow for additional properties, often impacting its antibiotic resistance and virulence. All the lack of a nucleus means is that the genetic material is not bound to a single area, it is free to roam throughout the cell. If bacteria did not have genetic material they would have no way of reproducing and spreading their traits. Genetic material is essential to the formation of new life forms and the expressions of characteristics. Even viruses which aren't even classified as alive contain genetic information!
The loose genetic material inside bacteria is primarily composed of a single, circular strand of DNA, which is not enclosed within a nucleus. This DNA is located in a region called the nucleoid. In addition to the chromosomal DNA, bacteria may also contain smaller, circular DNA molecules known as plasmids, which can carry genes that confer advantageous traits, such as antibiotic resistance.
