What else can I help you with?
RNA is accociated with?
RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)...this is the messenger of the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) The RNA carries directions from the DNA to the Ribosomes that tell the Ribosomes what protein to make and how to do it. RNA reads the blueprint (DNA)
How are RNA and DNA used to make protein?
DNA has coded instructions for making proteins, and RNA translates the code.
Is a phosphate DNA or RNA?
Both DNA and RNA contain a sugar phosphate group as the backbone to their structure. In DNA the sugar is deoxyribose, where as in RNA it is just ribose.
Which statement best illustrates the function of RNA in relation to DNA and proteins?
Proteins make RNA, which then creates DNA.
How can you tell if isolated RNA is free of DNA?
There is a DNA killing step in RNA isolation by the enzyme DNase I. This will make sure your preparation is free of DNA.
What must happen to a DNA molcule before RNA polymerase can make RNA?
Before RNA polymerase can make RNA, the DNA molecule must be unwound and the double helix separated to expose the sequence of nucleotides that will be used to transcribe the RNA. This process is facilitated by proteins that help open the DNA molecule for transcription.
What sugar distinguishes from DNA and RNA?
The sugar that distinguishes DNA from RNA is deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA. Deoxyribose lacks one oxygen atom compared to ribose, which affects the stability and functionality of the respective molecules.
What is an enzyme that copies DNA to make a molecule of RNA is?
The enzyme that copies DNA to make a molecule of RNA is called RNA polymerase. During the process of transcription, RNA polymerase binds to the DNA template strand and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand by adding ribonucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction. This process ultimately results in the formation of messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
Why rna primer is used instead of dna primer?
There are basically two types of enzymes that can bind to DNA and copy it. The DNA polymerase and the RNA polymerase. The RNA polymerase, which copies DNA into RNA, will only bind to single stranded DNA, in other words areas of the DNA where the nitrogen bases holding the two strands of nucleotide units together have been separated. On the other hand the DNA polymerase that copies DNA into DNA will only bind to DNA that is double stranded. So in lies the dilemma. To make a copy of the DNA the DNA polymerase is use, but it will not bind to single stranded DNA so there is no way to make a DNA primer using aDNA polymerase, but the RNA polymerase will bind to single stranded DNA and there for can be used to make a small RNA primer on the open strands of DNA. Now the DNA polymerase has place that is double stranded and can attach and start copying the DNA.
What process does a cell use to make an RNA copy of a segment of DNA?
The process a cell uses to make an RNA copy of a segment of DNA is called transcription. During transcription, the enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the DNA at a specific region called the promoter. It then unwinds the DNA strands and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand by adding RNA nucleotides that are complementary to the DNA template. Once the RNA strand is complete, it undergoes processing before being translated into proteins.
Does RNA make DNA?
Yes.RNA is created through a process known as transcription where a single strand of DNA is used as a template to build a single strand of RNA. This process relies on the bases in DNA pairing with those in the RNA.Small non-coding RNA's also bind with DNA after transcription to regulate various cellular functions.
Does the nucleus make RNA?
No. The DNA is copied by ribosomes in the endoplasmic reticulum to form the RNA strands.
