What three things don't have DNA?
Three things that don't have DNA are viruses (they have RNA instead), prions (misfolded proteins that cause diseases like mad cow disease), and artificial intelligence (AI lacks biological components).
What does some disease causing viruses have instead of DNA?
Some disease-causing viruses have RNA instead of DNA as their genetic material. RNA viruses include the influenza virus, HIV, and the common cold virus.
Is a prion an infectious agent?
Yes, prions are infectious agents that are responsible for causing several neurodegenerative diseases in animals and humans, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and mad cow disease. Prions are unique because they lack genetic material (DNA or RNA) and are composed of misfolded proteins that can induce normal proteins to misfold and accumulate in the brain, leading to tissue damage.
Does the West Nile Disease have DNA or RNA?
West Nile virus contains strands of RNA.
What is an infectious agent composed entirely of protein is called?
An infectious agent composed entirely of protein is called a prion. Prions are abnormal, misfolded proteins that can induce other normal proteins to misfold, leading to neurodegenerative diseases in animals and humans, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and mad cow disease. Unlike bacteria or viruses, prions do not contain nucleic acids (DNA or RNA), making them unique in their mechanism of infection.
Is bacterial meningitis DNA or RNA?
Your question makes no sense. Bacterial meningitis is a bacterial infection of the meninges, the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. DNA and RNA are both molecules that code the structure and function of cells.
What is the pathogen composed only of protein?
The pathogen composed only of protein is known as a prion. Prions are infectious agents that cause neurodegenerative diseases by inducing abnormal folding of normal cellular proteins, particularly in the brain. Unlike viruses and bacteria, prions do not contain nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) and are resistant to conventional methods of sterilization. Examples of diseases caused by prions include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and mad cow disease (BSE).
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
Is Tuberculosis a DNA or RNA virus?
Tuberculosis is a disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is not caused by a virus.
An Infectious particle made up of protein rather then DNA or RNA?
A prion is an infectious particle composed solely of protein that can cause abnormal folding of other proteins in the brain, leading to neurodegenerative diseases like mad cow disease. Prions are known for their unique ability to self-replicate by inducing normal host proteins to adopt the misfolded prion form.
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
What is the substance in RNA but not DNA?
An uracil base is in RNA but not in DNA
