In which year were nucleic acids discovered?
1869
How nucleic was discovered?
Nucleic acids were discovered by Friedrich Miescher in 1869. He isolated a substance from the nuclei of cells that contained high amounts of phosphorus, which he called nuclein. Later, this substance was found to be composed of nucleic acids, which carry genetic information in cells.
Who discovered that nucleic acids are responsible for the transmission of genetic information?
Hershey & Chase
What macromolecule provides instructions for growth?
Nucleic acids
A nucleic acids is a?
Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides.
The group of organic molecules that that were first discovered in the nucleus of the cell are called?
The group of organic molecules that were first discovered in the nucleus of the cell are nucleic acids. These molecules, such as DNA and RNA, carry genetic information and play vital roles in cell function and heredity.
What macromolecules is made up of nucleic acid?
They are the nucleotides . They make up nucleic acids
Do nucleic acids produce protein?
No. Nucleic acids are the building blocks of protein. There are various types of nucleic acids that form proteins.
Do proteins encode nucleic acids?
No. Nucleic acids encode proteins.
How coined the term nucleic acids?
Nucleic acids were named as such because they were first found in the cell nucleus. Robert Brown first coined the term nucleus when he discovered the cell nucleus in 1831. In about 1869 a phospohrus containing substance was found in the nucleus and called nuclein by Johann Friedrich Miescher. This was changed to nucleic acids over time as the acidic nature was discovered. The original "nucleus" came from Robert Brown. Thomas Avery discovered it was the genetic carrier in the 1940s.
DNA and RNA are 2 examples of what?
Nucleic acids. Dna = Deoxyribonucleic Acid Rna = Ribonucleic Acid
How are nucleic acids and proteins related?
Nucleic acids make proteins.
