How do you get from DNA to RNA?
Through a process called Transcription. Transcription involves a DNA template before it may begin the synthesis of a complementary mRNA strand using RNA Polymerase II in a 5' to 3' direction. When RNA Polymerase II reaches the termination sequence on the DNA template strand, the production of a mRNA (also known as the primary transcript) is completed and the entire transcription complex disassociates.
What are the two types of nucleic acids viruses may have?
Viruses can have either DNA or RNA (a virus will never have both at the same time, although some viruses can have each one separately at different stages of their life cycles). RNA viruses are much more common than DNA viruses.
What does RNA stand for and what is its function?
RNA: RIBONUCLEIC ACID RNA's function is to duplicate DNA. It is single stranded and its job is to create new DNA. (I may be wrong but I hope this helped you just a little bit.)
Does ATP contain deoxyribose?
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) does not contain Cytosine within its molecular structure. However, Cytosine in the form of Cytidine Triphosphate (CTP) may transfer a phosphate group to convert Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) to Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
What may contain the nitrogenous base uracil?
RNA (ribonucleic acid)
What does the core of a virus contain?
Viruses, by themselves, do not have a nucleus. They may not even be living.
Why do scientists think RNA may have evolved before DNA?
because RNA depend to DNA.
What base is missing on RNA and what other base replaces it?
No nitrogen base is missing. You may be referring to the fact that DNA contains the nitrogen base thymine, while RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil. They both contain adenine, cytosine, and guanine.
A virus may contain ethier DNA or RNA To identify which nucleic acicd is present a biochemist could chemically analyze the virus for the presence of which nitrogen base?
The "NA" in DNA and RNA stands for nucleic acid, so in this question, you are trying to find which nitrogen base ethier only DNA or only RNA has. DNA has thymine, but RNA has uracil. Therefore, the biochemist could chemically analyze the virus for the presence of uracil.
vruse are dna and rna?
Most viruses have either RNA or DNA as their genetic material. The nucleic acid may be single- or double-stranded. The entire infectious virus particle, called a virion, consists of the nucleic acid and an outer shell of protein. The simplest viruses contain only enough RNA or DNA to encode four proteins.
When DNA is transcribed the product is?
DNA transcription is a process of converting genetic information from DNA to RNA. The RNA may be used to produce proteins if that is what the DNA coded for. In this case, the RNA is called mRNA and the RNA molecule is called a transcription unit. So that would be one answer to this question. ( The process by which the RNA becomes a protein is called translation) Sometimes the DNA does not code for a protein. In these cases the RNA may end up being ribosomal RNA or transfer RNA. These are also possible answers. A general answer might be an RNA molecule corresponding to the DNA molecule that is being transcribed. So the answer is an equivalent RNA sequence for that particular DNA sequence.

What is the importance of DNA transcrip?
DNA transcrip transcribes the DNA so that RNA may use it and replicate it.
Why removing RNA from DNA preparation?
When making DNA preparation why do you need RNA? :P Ya it is done because it may interfere with your next experiments.

What is neucloid?
A 'neucloid' is a cell in which houses DNA. A neucloid can also contain RNA, proteins and enzymes that may be used for cellular processes. It's all quite tricky!

RNA: RIBONUCLEIC ACID RNA's function is to duplicate DNA. It is single stranded and its job is to create new DNA. (I may be wrong but I hope this helped you just a little bit.)
