What may contain the nitrogenous base uracil?
Uracil is a nitrogenous base found in RNA and is not found in DNA. It pairs with adenine in RNA during transcription.
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.
The process in which the DNA code is transferred to messenger RNA is called?
The process in which the DNA code is transferred to messenger RNA is called transcription. During transcription, RNA polymerase reads the DNA sequence and synthesizes a complementary RNA molecule, which serves as a template for protein synthesis.
Role of RNase in DNA purification?
RNase is important in DNA purification as it helps to degrade RNA contaminants that may be present in the sample. By degrading RNA, RNase ensures that the purified DNA sample is free of RNA, which could interfere with downstream applications such as PCR or sequencing. Purifying DNA with RNase treatment helps to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the subsequent analysis.
What are the two nucleic acid that a capsid of a virus may enclose?
A capsid of a virus may enclose either DNA or RNA as its genetic material. Viruses can contain either single-stranded or double-stranded DNA or RNA, depending on the type of virus.
What doesn't have DNA in it?
Several entities do not contain DNA, including certain viruses, which may have RNA instead of DNA as their genetic material. Additionally, non-living things such as rocks, water, and minerals do not possess DNA, as they are not biological entities. Furthermore, structures like prions, which are misfolded proteins, do not contain DNA or RNA.
What does the core of a virus contain?
Viruses, by themselves, do not have a nucleus. They may not even be living.
What may contain the nitrogenous base uracil?
Uracil is a nitrogenous base found in RNA and is not found in DNA. It pairs with adenine in RNA during transcription.
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.
Are there any living things that do not contain DNA as the genetic material?
Yes. Humans cells contain RNA. The most abundant form of RNA in human cells is a type called ribosomal RNA (or rRNA)
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.
Protobionts contain of what DNA RNA cytosol or Nucleic acids?
Protobionts contain nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, which are essential for storing and transmitting genetic information. They may also contain cytosol, which is the liquid component of a cell that houses organelles and other cellular components.

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.
