In the DNA world, ENCODE stands for the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements. It is a public research group started in 2003 by the United States National Human Genome Research Institute.
The molecules inside cells that encode information to direct their growth and development are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA contains the genetic instructions for the cell, while RNA helps in the process of translating these instructions into proteins that regulate growth and development.
No, DNA and RNA are not directly involved in the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. DNA and RNA are molecules that encode genetic information and are not directly related to osmosis.
The three bases of RNA and DNA put together are called codons in RNA and triplets in DNA. These sequences of bases encode specific amino acids or signal the end of protein synthesis.
Introns (the stuff between the exons), and UTR (Untranslated region, the stuff before the start codon, and after the stop codon).
Proteins do not encode genetic information. Instead, genetic information is encoded in DNA through a specific sequence of nucleotide bases. Proteins are synthesized based on this genetic information through a process called protein synthesis, where the DNA sequence is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and then translated into a specific sequence of amino acids, which make up proteins.

Yes, chloroplasts contain their own set of circular DNA known as chloroplast DNA. This DNA contains genes that encode for proteins essential for chloroplast function.
they form the rungs of the helical DNA ladder, and as there are 4 kinds of nucleotide encode genetic information as very large base 4 numbers.
Replication, in which new copies of DNA are made; transcription, in which a segment of DNA is used to produce RNA; and translation, in which the information in RNA is translated into a protein sequence.
The DNA molecule is composed of two DNA strands.
DNA of harmless bacteria or viruses.
DNA is the polymer responsible for inheritance as it contains the genetic information passed down from one generation to the next. DNA molecules encode for the traits and characteristics that are inherited from parents to offspring.
No. Nucleolus is a separate structure inside the nucleus. DNA is also housed in the nucleus, but not within the nucleolus.Actually, this is incorrect. The nucleolus is the site for ribosomal RNA synthesis and processing. Thus, there is DNA in the nucleolus, it is the DNA repeats that encode ribosomal RNA.
No, DNA and RNA are not directly involved in the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. DNA and RNA are molecules that encode genetic information and are not directly related to osmosis.
