Polymer is a long molecule composed of repeating units called monomers. As DNA consists of adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine repeating, it is called polymer.

Based on the function of dna polymerase explain why each part of the name dna polymerase make sense?
means it's an enzyme - so it catalyzes a chemical reaction polymer- means it catalyzes the formation of a polymer DNA- means the polymer whose formation it catalyzes is DNA - DNA is a polynucleotide (a polymer of nucleotides, a million nucleotides strung together)
What class of biological polymer has the least structural variety?
Dna
What is the name of the DNA polymer?
It is also called The Chromosomal Material, or Substance.
What catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between adjacent nucleotides in the DNA polymer being formed?
DNA polemerase
Are nucleotides pieces that form the dna molecule?
DNA is composed of nucleotides. DNA is essentially a polymer made up of nucleotide monomers
Is DNA polymer or monomer?
DNA is a polymer
Is DNA a natural polymer?
DNA constantly undergoes changes. It interacts with proteins that are able to replicate and transcribe it to generate a copy of RNA. Inactive sites are changed to active sites and active sites are silenced. DNA can therefore be considered an active polymer

DNA is considered a polymer?
Nucleotides.Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, and are polymers of nucleotides. A nucleotide has three components: a pentose (five-carbon sugar), and attached to different parts of it a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base (either a purine or a pyrimidine).The monomers (units) of RNA are ribonucleotides, meaning that the pentose is ribose. The monomers of DNA are deoxyribonucleotides, because their sugar is deoxyribose.The nucleotides in a nucleic acid are not all identical. There are four kinds in each nucleic acid, differing only in their bases. The bases in the nucleotides of RNA are cytosine, uracil, adenine, and guanine. Those in DNA are nearly the same, but in place of uracil is thymine.
What polymer is formed from mononucleotides?
DNA
What is a polymer with a complex structure?
DNA.
What class of biological polymer has the least structural variety?
Dna
What type of moleclue is DNA?
An organic polymer.
What makes DNA a polymer?
DNA is a polymer because it is made of up of monomers of nucleotides that differ from each other by their bases. (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine.)
Which of the following is a polymer a amino acids b monosaccharide c nucleotide d DNA?
DNA is the only polymer in that list. The other 3 options are all individual subunits that could be made into a polymer. Amino acids are the monomers (individual subunits) that up DNA and RNA
What subunits is the DNA polymer composed of?
Everett is the DON!
How is polymer used to build DNA blueprints?
yes
