What are the three subunits of nucleic acid?
Nucleotides.
What is a subunit of a nucleic acid?
The subunit of a nucleic acid are nucleotides.
What type of biological molecule is DNA?
It is a nucleic acid (and specifically, deoxyribose nucleic acid).
What is the importance of nucleic acid?
Nucleic acids are the genetic material of all organisms, and hey determine many of the features of an organism. There are two types of nucleic acids: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid and RNA (ribonucleic acid). Both are made of long chains of subunits called nucleotides. DNA carries the 'instructions' required to assemble proteins from amino acids subunits using a generic code. It is accurately passed from cell to cell during cell division. RNA plays a major role in the manufacture of proteins within cells.
What is the full name for DNA and RNA?
DNA- Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid RNA-Ribo Nucleic Acid
What subunits make up a starch?
carbohydrates dna subunits are nucleic acids. Nucleic acid subunits are nucleotides.
What are the three subunits of nucleic acid?
Nucleotides.
What is a subunit of a nucleic acid?
The subunit of a nucleic acid are nucleotides.
What are the subunits making up nucleic acid?
nucleotides
Molecule made up of subunits called nucleotides?
a nucleic acid
Are the subunits in nucleic acids similar?
The differences in nucleic acid atomic structure, namely the Hydrogen Bonds - 2 for an AT pair and 3 for a GC pair -, are way too small to be called 'subunits'.
What subunits make up nucleic acids?
The subunits making up nucleic acids are nucleotides
Why does a nucleic acid subunit copy DNA?
the subunits copy DNA because they are used to build cells
A very large molecule composed of subunits of sugar nitrogen base and phosphate bond is a?
Nucleic Acid
What are the nucleic acids subunits?
Nucleotides
What molecule contains Double stranded nucleic acid made from nucleotides subunits containing A T G and C that stores genetic info in cells?
Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.
Are nucleic acids polymers of nucleotides?
Yes, they are. Nucleic acid polymeric subunits of ribonucleotides condense to form Rna, while polymeric subunits of 2' [two prime] -deoxy-Rna condense to form Dna. So tough to explain such a small difference between Rna and Dna!
