Importance of nucleotides

Answer 1

Nucleotides make up rNA and DNA. They are the monomers of these proteins, which go in a double helix to produce the commonly known DNA strands.

Those contain our genetics, characteristics with traits!

Answer 2

DNA uses four nucleotide bases [bases]. What is crucial for the expression of the genetic information that is contained within the 'DNA linear sequence' is that the bases are READ just three bases at a time: each group of three is called a TRIPLET CODON.

Answer 3

Nucleotides are the building blocks that are necessary for making new DNA and RNA. Next, we need to think back to high school when we learned about the double-helix of DNA. Remember the spiral-appearing ladder with the different colored rungs? That is a model of the DNA that makes up the genes and chromosomes found in us all. DNA is a very large molecule, and the rungs of the DNA ladder are made of a combination of two different nucleotides. The nucleotides are molecules, called guanosine and cytosine, that pair up together, or adenosine and thymidine, which also pair up together. Adenosine and guanosine are called purines. Cytosine, thymidine and uradine are called pyrimidines. RNA is similar to DNA, except that the molecule uradine replaces thymine in that pair, and RNA is an intermediary between DNA and protein. A gene is a discrete sequence of DNA nucleotides, and genes are what make up our chromosomes. So, it makes sense that genes are made of DNA.

Nucleotides are tiny building blocks of RNA and DNA, which are the blueprints for every cell in your body. Each of your trillion plus cells contains 6 billion nucleotides. These building blocks are stored in a very limited quantity in your liver. Trauma, surgery, immune challenges, and other stresses, can rapidly deplete the body's stores of nucleotides.

Answer 4

Because they help store genetic materials such as DNA and RNA

Answer 5

Nucleotides, one category of Organic compounds found in the human body, function most importantly as the building blocks of RNA and DNA, the genetic material found in all life.
