In all cells it is DNA, in viruses it is sometimes DNA and sometimes RNA.
Yes, nucleic acids contain the genetic code in the form of sequences of nucleotides. In DNA, the genetic code is composed of four nucleotides (A, T, C, G) that encode the instructions for building and functioning of an organism. RNA also carries genetic information in some viruses and plays a role in the translation of the genetic code into proteins.
Both viruses and bacteria contain genetic material in the form of DNA or RNA. Viruses can have either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, while bacteria typically have DNA as their genetic material.
DNA is the genetic code
The genetic material in viruses can be either double-stranded DNA or RNA.
Yes. With the exception of some viruses which use RNA, all organisms on Earth code their genetic information on DNA. In some cases prokaryotes use a modified genetic code where a few codons will have different meanings than they do in eukaryotes, but broadly speaking, the DNA genetic code is a universal feature of all known organisms.
The genetic material that viruses have is RNA. Viruses are unable to truly carry out the processes associated with holding their own DNA.
Viruses contain either DNA or RNA.
The genetic code is carried by the macromolecule DNA. In particular, the sequence of nitrogen bases on the DNA determines the genetic code.
Two types of viruses are DNA viruses, which have genetic material made of DNA, and RNA viruses, which have genetic material made of RNA. DNA viruses typically replicate in the host cell's nucleus, while RNA viruses typically replicate in the host cell's cytoplasm.
Yes, single-stranded DNA or RNA is present in the genetic material of certain viruses.
DNA carries the genetic code.
