a monomer of DNA or RNA is called a nucleotide.the nucleotide is actually a combination of (1)a deoxyribose/ribose sugar (2)a base(A,G,C,T/U) (3)phosphoric acid.All these combine and form a nucleotide.a large number of these nucleotides join together through phosphodiester linkage to form a polymer of DNA/RNA..........
What else can I help you with?
What is the monomer of the polynucleotide molecule called?
The monomer of a polynucleotide molecule is called a nucleotide. It consists of three components: a phosphate group, a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine in DNA; adenine, uracil, cytosine, guanine in RNA).
Is DNA longer or shorter than rna?
Since both proteins and DNA are polymers (molecules arranged like chains made up of smaller molecules called monomers), their sizes cannot be compared. However, the monomer of DNA (called a nucleic acid) is smaller than the monomer of a protein (called an amino acid)
What macromolecules are made of nucleotides?
RNA and DNA.
What is the name and primary function of the other nucleic acid found in cells?
nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. (mostly known as DNA) its primary function is to contain genetic information about the living organism which carries it. Helping it, is its monomer. (a monomer is a single cell in which helps its host, in this case, the host is Nucleic Acids.) Nucleic Acids monomer is nucleotide. Nucleotide is the other part of the Nucleic Acids and like i said, helps it contain its genetic information, or DNA.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
What monomer are DNA and RNA made up of?
adenine , thymine , guanine , cytosine
Which monomer is not found in RNA?
An RNA monomer is a nucleotide.
What monomer is linked in transcription?
In transcription, the monomer linked together is ribonucleotides. These ribonucleotides are added in a complementary manner to the template strand of DNA by RNA polymerase enzyme, resulting in the formation of messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules.
What is the monomer of the polynucleotide molecule called?
The monomer of a polynucleotide molecule is called a nucleotide. It consists of three components: a phosphate group, a sugar (deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine in DNA; adenine, uracil, cytosine, guanine in RNA).
What is the basic monomer subunit in DNA and RNA?
The basic monomer subunit in DNA is called a nucleotide, which consists of a sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). In RNA, the basic monomer subunit is also a nucleotide, but the sugar component is ribose and the nitrogenous base uracil replaces thymine.
The monomer units of DNA and RNA?
Nucleotides. A single nucleotide contains a phosphate group, deoxyribose or ribose (depending on the nucleic acid) and a nitrogen base, which can be adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil. These monomers combine to form polymers known as DNA or RNA.
What is a nucleotide polymer?
A nucleotide polymer is a long chain made up of nucleotide units bonded together. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule, and a phosphate group. Nucleotide polymers form the backbone of DNA and RNA molecules.
The Monomer of RNA is?
Hydrolysis !!
The monomer of RNA?
nucleotide
Is DNA longer or shorter than rna?
Since both proteins and DNA are polymers (molecules arranged like chains made up of smaller molecules called monomers), their sizes cannot be compared. However, the monomer of DNA (called a nucleic acid) is smaller than the monomer of a protein (called an amino acid)
What are polymers for rna?
RNA is a polymer that is made up of a sugar called ribose. Ribose is a simple sugar known as pentose monosaccharide.
Is a nucleotide a monomer?
Yes, a nucleotide is considered a monomer. It is the building block of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA, consisting of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule, and a nitrogenous base. Multiple nucleotides can link together to form a polymer chain.
