What is the nucleic acid core in a virus called?
the "core" of a virus is the nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) that makes up the viral genome. this core contains all the genetic information of that virus, and is enclosed within the protein coat known as the capsid.
Subunits of nucleic acids?
The monomers of nucleic acid polymers are the nucleotides. Each is composed of a sugar-phosphate backbone and one of four bases as a side group. In RNA the sugar is ribose, in DNA the sugar is deoxyribose.
Give the name that which acid is present in chromosomes?
Nucleic acid.
How did scientists convert information when using reverse transcriptase insulin research?
from amino acid to nucleic acids
What aspect of the structure of viruses is similar to all living things?
Presence of nucleic acid.
What is a nucleic acid?
A nucleic acid is a biological polymer (a chain composed of links) made of building blocks (the links) called nucleic acids. The most common nucleic acids are DNA and RNA.
Does a virus have a protein coat?
Yes. All viruses are composed of a nucleic acid surrounded by a protein capsid. When the capsid is not present, the the infectious nucleic acid is called viroid. When the nucleic acid is not present, the infectious protein coating is called prion.
What a biological particle composed of a nucleic acid core and a protein cover is called a?
Virus (singular-virion)
Which macromolecules have a basic unit that composed of phospate a sugar ring and one of five different bases?
nucleic acids
What is a genome composed of chemically?
A genome is composed of DNA which is a nucleic acid composed of two long polymers called nucleotides with backbones and phosphates joined together with ester bonds.
Why nucleic acid is called nucleic acid?
Because it is used in the nucleus of a cell.
What is a virus biologically active particle composed of?
Protein and nucleic acid.
What are the sub units making up nucleic acid?
nucleotides
What are the individual units in DNA known as?
nucleic acid
What is a biological particle composed of a nucleic acid core and a protein cover called?
If it consists only of these two components it is a virus.
What molecule is composed of carbon hydrogen oxygen and nitrogen and phosphrus?
nucleic acid
What is the name for the smaller units that make up nucleic acid?
Nucleotides
