Nucleotides are a type of molecule composed by a nitrogenated base (iether purine or pyrimidin) bounded to a pentose (either ribose or deoxyribose) which is bounded to a chain of 1 to 3 inorganic phosphates (mono, di and triphosphates).
They are different from nucleosides in the pressence of phosphate, nucleosides lack phosphates, nucleotides posses phosphates.
What else can I help you with?
What are the monomers of DNA made of?
its made up of nucleotides
What foods do not contain macromolecules?
of the choices: proteins starches nucleotides lipids nucleotides are not macromolecules
If there are 12 nucleotides how many mrna codons are there?
If there are 12 nucleotides, the number of mRNA codons can be calculated by dividing the total number of nucleotides by 3, since each codon consists of 3 nucleotides. Therefore, with 12 nucleotides, there would be 12 / 3 = 4 codons.
Dna and rna are made of linked monomers called what?
nucleotides
What part of the nucleotides changes?
The sugar and phosphate group of nucleotides never change. There are four possible nitrogenous bases and thus it is the only part of nucleotides that can change.
Purine nucleotides mainly differ from pyrimidine nucleotides in their number of?
Purine nucleotides differ from pyrimidine nucleotides in their structure due to the number of nitrogen-containing rings they have. Purine nucleotides have a double-ring structure, while pyrimidine nucleotides have a single-ring structure.
How do nucleotides differ from one another?
no
How do nucleotides cause living things to differ from on another?
the reason is that each living thing has a different order of nucleotides in its DNA
How mi RNA differ from si RNA?
MicroRNA are usually 22 nucleotides long, and are post-transcriptional regulators. Small interfering RNAs are usually 20-25 nucleotides long, and are mostly involved with the disruption of gene expression. siRNA is also double-stranded.
What makes DNA a polymer?
DNA is a polymer because it is made of up of monomers of nucleotides that differ from each other by their bases. (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine.)
What is the one part of the nucleotide that differ among the different nucleotide?
All nucleotides are similar except for the nitrogen bases, which may either be adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, or uracil..
Do nucleotides only pair with certain other nucleotides based on their properties?
Yes, nucleotides pair with specific complementary nucleotides based on their chemical properties.
How does the DNA of humans and the DNA of animals compare?
They have the same nucleotides (A, T, C, G) and structure (double helix and chromosomes), and have a lot of the same genes, but a lot of genes differ, also.
What is the one part of the nucleotide that differ among the other different nucleotide?
All nucleotides are similar except for the nitrogen bases, which may either be adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, or uracil..
Which base is found on DNA nucleotides but not rna nucleotides?
Thymine is found on DNA nucleotides but not on RNA nucleotides. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.
Nucleic acid are composed of units called?
nucleotides.
What are the monomers of DNA made of?
its made up of nucleotides
