DNA replication in living organisms typically occurs at a rate of about 50 to 100 nucleotides per second.

What is unique job of DNA?

To replicate living organisms. It's quite good at it, too.


Why do viruses infect living organisms?

Because the living organism has to replicate the DNA that the virus infects the host with. It can't do this if it is a dead organism.


Why do you consider viruses as non living outside host?

Viruses either have a strand of DNA or RNA not both like living organisms. They need a host (you and me) in order to replicate.


Which two organelles contain their own DNA and were probably once free-living organisms?

The two organelles that contain their own DNA and are thought to have originated from free-living organisms are mitochondria and chloroplasts. Both of these organelles have their own circular DNA, similar to bacterial DNA, and they replicate independently of the cell's nuclear DNA. This endosymbiotic theory suggests that they were once separate prokaryotic organisms that entered into a symbiotic relationship with ancestral eukaryotic cells.


Will bacteria cells have DNA?

Yes. Bacteria are living organisms. All living organisms have DNA.


What if the cell replicates but has no DNA?

It cannot replicate without DNA. All living things are made up of DNA.


What lacks DNA?

Anything that is not considered to be a living organism. If it was never living (like a rock), then it has no DNA. All living beings have DNA. Viruses however, are not considered living because they do not have DNA.


Why mitchondria plastids has its own DNA?

There is evidence to suggest that mitochondria were once free-living organisms that were incorporated into an ancestoral eukaryotic cell. Not only do they have their own DNA, but they replicate independantly of the larger host cell replicating.


What are the molecular basis of living organisms?

The molecular basis of living organisms lies in the complex interactions of biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and lipids. These molecules work together to carry out essential functions such as growth, reproduction, and metabolism. The information encoded in DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into proteins that carry out specific tasks within the cell.


Is ribose present in the DNA or RNA of living organisms?

Yes, ribose is present in the RNA of living organisms, but not in the DNA.


What organism has DNA?

All living organisms have DNA..


How does DNA replicate in living organisms?

During DNA replication in living organisms, the double-stranded DNA molecule unwinds and separates into two strands. Each strand serves as a template for the creation of a new complementary strand. Enzymes called DNA polymerases add nucleotides to the new strands, following the base pairing rules (A with T, C with G). This process results in two identical copies of the original DNA molecule.
