How many different nitrogenous bases are found in nucleic acids?
There is a set of 5 nitrogenous bases used in the construction of nucleic acids.
What are the functions of DNA in nucleic acids?
it stores genetic information. DNA: deoxiribonucleic acidDNA is made of nucleic acids. DNA is stored in chromosomes, which are found in the nucleus.
What is the importance of nucleic acids in living organisms?
The function of nucleic acids is to store and transmit hereditary or genetic information there are two kinds of nucleic acids RNA and DNA.
Where are nitrogenous bases found?
in you
What two nucleic acids are found in organisms?
A nucleic acid is a macromolecule composed of chains of monomeric nucleotides. In biochemistry these molecules carry genetic information or form structures within cells. The most common nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). 2 examples of nucleic acids as said before are DNA and RNA.
What nitrogenous base would not be found in the nucleic acid that provides the genetic code?
i believe it is Uracil.
How many different nitrogenous bases are found in nucleic acids?

What substance is the sugar deoxyribose found in?
In deoxyribose nucleic acid. DNA, as part of the backbone the nitrogenous bases are hung on.
What nitrogenous base is found in DNA but not in RNA is called what?
The nitrogenous base found in DNA but not RNA is called thymine. RNA contains the base uracil which during transcription(when genetic information is copied from DNA to RNA) pairs with the base adenine in DNA. So, DNA has four nitrogenous bases: (A) adenine, (C) cytosine, G (guanine), and T (thymine). And RNA has four nitrogenous bases: (A) adenine, (C) cytosine, G (guanine) and U (uracil)
What type of nucleic acid is the general material of the cell?
The general form of nucleic acid is called deoxyribose nucleic acid or DNA.
Which nucleic acid is said to be the genetic material found in all organisms?
DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid.
What nucleic acid is found in ribosomes?
to carry genetic material and maintain a 3 dementional shape

Do nucleic acid store genetic information?
yes they do. think nucleus, and that's where most DNA is found.

Is phosphorus a nucleotide?
Yes, nitrogen is found in nucleic acids in the form of nitrogenous base. Actually, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are linear polymers of nucleotides (a purine or pyrimidine nitrogenous base + a pentose sugar + a phosphate group).
What info does DNA carry?
DNA is a nucleic acid that's found in every cell. DNA carries the genetic information.
