The monomers in nucleic acids are nucleotides. In total there are eight.

In RNA there are four:

adenylic acid (AMP)

cytidylic acid (CMP)

guanylic acid (GMP)

uridylic acid (UMP)

In DNA there are a different four:

deoxyadenylic acid (dAMP)

deoxycytidylic acid (dCMP)

deoxyguanylic acid (dGMP)

thymidylic acid (dTMP)

What are two basic kinds of nucleic acids?

The two basic kinds of nucleic acids are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). DNA carries genetic information and is found in the nucleus of cells, while RNA plays a key role in protein synthesis and can be found in both the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells.


List two kinds of nucleic acid?

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are two types of nucleic acids found in living organisms. DNA stores genetic information and is responsible for inheritance, while RNA plays a role in gene expression and protein synthesis.


How many different types of amino acids exist?

There are 22 amino acids that humans require for life. however, there are hundreds of different kinds of amino acids.


How does centrifugation separate different kinds of DNA?

Centrifugal force separates different kinds of DNA based on proportions of amino acid base pairs. The AT base pair has a lower molecular weight than CG. Different types of nucleic acids separated into bands.


How many amino acids are there that make up proteins?

The number of amino acids/protein differ largely and is characteristic for each protein separately. A protein is composed of amino acids, and the function of the protein depends of the type and order of the amino acids. Because amino acids can be arranged in many different combinations, it's possible for your body to make thousands of different kinds of protein from just the same 20 amino acids.The simplest protein of life, ribonuclease, contains 124 amino acids. The "average" protein, though, contains several thousand amino acids, but those several thousand comprised only about 20 different kinds of amino acids.
