The structure of nucleotides is important to living things as it will help in the storage of genetic material. This where DNA and RNA are usually stored within the cell.

What are free floating nucleotides?
transfer RNA, or tRNA Assuming this is the same this as free nucleotides (and it should be), they are nucleotides (the monomer of the polymer, DNA, made up of a phosphate, pentose sugar, and nitrogenous base) in the nucleus that are not attached to any strand of DNA or RNA, and thus literally "free floating" (i.e. floating in the nucleus not attached to anything and therefore "free")
What are Free Nucleotides?
Free Nucleotides are ones that exist in the form of a triphosphate or three phosphates. When it is combined in DNA, the nucleotide loses two phosphates and only one phosphate is included in the DNA.
What attaches free nucleotides to the growing DNA strand?
During DNA replication, DNA polymerase binds free DNA nucleotides to an unzipped DNA strand. During transcription, RNA polymerase binds free RNA nucleotides to the unzipped anti-sense DNA strand.
The enzyme that adds new nucleotides to each side of a replicating DNA molecule is?
DNA polymerase 1,2,3 are enzymes involved in adding nucleotides during replication
Which description best fits nonvascular plants?
The gametophyte is dominant and free living; the sporophyte is not free living.
What is smallest free living cell with cell wall?
PPLO is the smallest living cell . Its example is MYCOPLASMA .
What is the smallest living cell in the world?
The microorganism is SAR11, the smallest free living cell known and probably the most abundant organism in the seas

What is considered as a cell with in a cell?
Possibly a mitochondrian or a chloroplast, which used to be free-living cells in the distant past.
Who discovered free-living cells and how?
leeuwenhoek first discovered the free living cell . he observed these cells with the help of primitive microscope in pond water
Do viruses only reproduce within one cell?
Virus cannot replicate themselves. They should enter a living cell
What are Free Nucleotides?
Free Nucleotides are ones that exist in the form of a triphosphate or three phosphates. When it is combined in DNA, the nucleotide loses two phosphates and only one phosphate is included in the DNA.
Enzymes used to add free nucleotides when replicating DNA?
DNA polymerase can add free-floating nucleotides to the DNA after it has been "unzipped" by the helicase. It also checks for any awnsers.
What attaches free nucleotides to the growing DNA strand?
During DNA replication, DNA polymerase binds free DNA nucleotides to an unzipped DNA strand. During transcription, RNA polymerase binds free RNA nucleotides to the unzipped anti-sense DNA strand.
What are free nucleotides made up of?
Sugar phosphate,phosphoral and nitrogeneous base
What is the rule to join the free nucleotides to the exposed bases of the DNA?
watson-base pairing
What is the name of the enzyme that would have placed nucleotides into the replicating DNA in the correct order?
DNA polymerases attach the free nucleotides and also proofread for mismatched pairs and replace them with the correct pair.
