What else can I help you with?
A research student is analyzing the nucleic acid of a virus He finds that the nucleic acid contains thymine From this it can be concluded that the nucleic acid?
is likely DNA. Thymine is a nitrogenous base found in DNA, not RNA. RNA contains uracil instead of thymine.
A dense area in the cell that contains nucleic acids?
In a eukaryotic cell, the dense area that contains nucleic acids is the nucleus.
What is a string of nucleotides called?
A gene
How do transciption and translation change information from one form to another?
From nucleic acids to amino acids. Transcription copies the nucleotide sequence of DNA into RNA; in translation ribosomes recreate the messenger-RNA pattern into a copy of the sequence.
What is DNA that contains genetic information?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a molecule that contains genetic information in the form of a code. It is found in almost all cells and carries instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of organisms. DNA is made up of a sequence of nucleotides that form the unique genetic blueprint of an individual.
What refers to translating the sequence of nucleic acids to the sequence of amino acids?
Transcription.
By convention the sequence of bases in a nucleic acid is always written in which direction?
The sequence of bases in a nucleic acid is always written in the 5' to 3' direction.
What is the main functions of nucleic acids are to?
To create DNA sequence
What reaction does nuclease catalyze?
Nucleases catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds in nucleic acids, resulting in the cleavage of DNA or RNA molecules. This enzymatic activity allows nucleases to degrade or fragment nucleic acids.
What type of virus contains reverse transcriptase and what type of nucleic acid does this virus type contain?
It contains retroviruses, like HIV and it also contains RNA nucleic acids.
True or false if a nucleic acid contains uracil it is DNA?
This is false a nucleic acid that contains uracil is not DNA. Uracil is a nucleobase that is found in RNA.
What is the scientific name for a palindrome?
In molecular biology, a palindromic sequence is a nucleic acid sequence on double-stranded DNA or RNA.
Foods that contains nucleic acid?
nothing. sorry.
The nucleic acid core of a virus contains?
ribose
What contains only RNA as its nucleic acid?
Retrovirus
What is a dense in area in a cell that contains nucleic acids?
The dense area in a eukaryotic cell that contains nucleic acid is the nucleus.
If you have discovered a new virus and have isolated its nucleic acids What feature could you look for to determine if the nucleic acids of this virus are RNA or DNA?
One way to determine if the nucleic acids of the virus are RNA or DNA is to check for the presence of thymine in the nucleic acid sequence. Thymine is only found in DNA, so its presence would indicate that the virus has a DNA genome. Conversely, the presence of uracil instead of thymine would indicate an RNA genome.
