What is a nucleic acid coated with a protein?
A viral nucleic acid coated with a protein is called a capsid. The capsid helps protect the nucleic acid and aids in the virus's ability to infect a host cell.
What are the three subunits of nucleic acid?
The three subunits of nucleic acid are a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (such as ribose or deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, or uracil).
What is the full name for DNA and RNA?
DNA- Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid RNA-Ribo Nucleic Acid
What part of a nucleic acid allows it to be used to form a code?
The sequence of nucleotides in a nucleic acid, specifically the arrangement of the four different bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine), allows it to store and transmit information as a genetic code. By combining these bases in different sequences, nucleic acids can encode the instructions for building and functioning of living organisms.
What makes up a nucleic acid?
DNA- deoxyribonucleic acid is made of a a deoxyribose sugar backbone and sequences of the bases Adenosine, cytosine, thymine, guanine. RNA is made of a ribose sugar backbone and has the same bases as DNA except that thymine is replaced with uracil
What is the name for a series of 3 nucleic acid bases contained on mRNA?
The name of a series of 3 nucleic acids bases on the tRNA is called anticodon. The name for a series of 3 nucleic acid bases contained on mRNA is called codon.
What is the total number of different three-base combinations of the four nucleic acid bases?
64
What is nucleic acid a polymer of?
Polynucleotides
By convention the sequence of bases in a nucleic acid is always written in which direction?
The sequence of bases in a nucleic acid is always written in the 5' to 3' direction.
What is a nucleic acid coated with a protein?
A viral nucleic acid coated with a protein is called a capsid. The capsid helps protect the nucleic acid and aids in the virus's ability to infect a host cell.
Which nucleic acid polymer of bases includes cytosine thymine and uracil?
Rna - ribonucleic acid.
What are three groups nucleic acid is made up of?
A sugar ( ribose, or deoxyribose ) and phosphate group backbone and one of five nitrogenous bases.
Three letter world for nucleic acid?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
What is a anticodons?
A sequence of three nucleic acid bases on transfer RNA molecules which recognizes and binds to three corresponding bases (called a codon) of messenger RNA. During protein synthesis this interaction ensures that the amino acid encoded by the codon is added to the growing protein.
What does thymine mean?
Thymine is a nucleobases that makes up the nucleic acid of DNA. There are three other nucleobases in nucleic acid.
What does a nucleic acid DNA contain?
Dna consists of of a phosphate and [ribose] sugar backbone with the four nucleic acid bases proffered laterally as the information containing components.
How many codones are neded for a single amino acid?
3, a three-nucleotide codon in a nucleic acid sequence specifies a single amino acid.The code defines how sequences of three nucleotides, called codons, specify which amino acid will be added next during protein synthesis
