What are the components of nucleic acids?
The components of nucleic acids are nucleotides, which contain a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
What is a subunit of a nucleic acid?
The subunit of a nucleic acid are nucleotides.
DNA is made of repeating units or monomers called?
nucleotides- guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine
The sequence of what carries genetic information as an organism?
nucleotides
Which components varies from one Nucleotide to another in DNA?
The nitrogenous base is what causes variation from one nucleotide to another in DNA. The deoxyribose and phosphate group are the same on all nucleotides.
What are the components and structure of DNA nucleotides?
DNA nucleotides consist of a phosphate, a deoxyribose (sugar), and a nitrogen base: adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine.
What are the components of DNA called?
Nucleotides (Nitrogeneous bases, deoxyribose, phosphate group)
What are the components of nucleic acids?
The components of nucleic acids are nucleotides, which contain a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
What are the 3 components of necleotides?
Nucleotides have one of four bases, a phosphate group and a sugar.
What are the four main components of a pcr DNA amplification reaction?
Templates, reverse and forward primers, and nucleotides
What type of molecule is made by nucleotides?
Nucleic acid
What are the major components of a DNA molecular subunit?
Nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group.
Can nucleic acids be broken down by the body to yield basic nutrients?
Yes. Nucleic acids are long polymers of nucleotides that are made up of a sugar, a base, and a phosphate group. The components of nucleotides could be used as nutrients.
What are the components and structure of a DNA nucleotide?
DNA nucleotides consist of a phosphate, a deoxyribose (sugar), and a nitrogen base: adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine.
What is the monomers that make up nucleic acid polymers?
The monomers of nucleic acids are nucleotides. DNA nucleotides are composed of the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. RNA nucleotides are composed of the sugar ribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.
What is a subunit of a nucleic acid?
The subunit of a nucleic acid are nucleotides.
Constituents of DNA?
Components of DNA include purine bases and pyrimidine bases (which, when combined, make up base pairs), deoyribose sugars, nucleotides and nucleosides.
