Threadlike structures in the nucleus contain DNA?
Chromatin or chromatin threads are the threadlike structures that are found in the nucleus. They contain DNA which is a genetic material.
What is the bacterium's genetic material called?
the genetic material are called DNA
What is the structure of a virus cell?
The genetic material DNA, usually.Then there are retroviruses, but they have RNA genetic material, which cells use catalytically, among other uses. And bath types of viruses have protein in common with living cells.
Retroviruses are so named because they?
because they reverse the usual DNA-to-RNA flow of genetic information in the process called transcription
Do some organisms not have DNA or RNA?
It would be easier to ask what organisms do not have DNA, as all living organisms contain genetic material within them. The answer would be those viruses that only employ RNA as a replication agent such as the Tobacco Mosaic Virus.
Genetic material of a virus?
Can be either DNA, or for retroviruses, RNA.
Which material contain genetic bluprints of a cell?
DNA
Does the plant cell or the animal cell contain genetic material?
Both animal and plant cells contain genetic material, DNA.
Give an example of the virus that contain DNA as its genetic material?
The virus for warts and chickenpox's contain DNA.
What virus DNA or RNA must supply its own enzyme to replicate or reproduce?
Retroviruses. They have genetic material of RNAand need the enzyme reverse transcriptase to transcribe a DNA strand from their RNA genetic material. Then another strand and then this is inserted into the hosts DNA to begin a lysogenic cycle.
What is the threadlike structure in the nucleus of the cell contain genetic material?
DNA
What does nucleus contain?
Nucleus contains Nucleolus, Genetic Material, and DNA
What are the similarities of viruses and prokaryotes?
They all contain DNA in there genetic material
What types of cells contain DNA as there genetic material?
barack obama
What is the flow of genetic information used by retroviruses for AIDS?
AIDS virus belongs to retrovirus category. These type of virus has only RNA as genetic material. They depend on host cell's DNA to replicate.
Does viruses contain RNA?
Some viruses contain RNA; these are known as retroviruses. Others contain DNA.
Do viruses need to contain genetic material?
They need either DNA or RNA.
