DNA is genetic material, not a protein.

Proteins are made of amino acids and DNA is made of nucleotides, which in turn are made of adenine, guanine, timine and cytosine bases, deoxyriboses (monosaccharides made of 5 carbon atoms) and phosphates.

What are two types of genetic material?

Two types of genetic material are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). DNA carries genetic information for the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all living organisms. RNA is involved in protein synthesis and regulation of gene expression.


What is protein covered genetic material?

Protein covered genetic material refers to the structure of a virus, where the genetic material (RNA or DNA) is surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid. This capsid protects the viral genetic material and helps the virus infect host cells.


What does acronym DNA stands for?

Answer...Deoxyribonucleic acidDNA is a type of genetic material in the shape of a double-helix. Two long strands are joined together by several rungs of protein. These protein rungs come in differing variations of genetic chemicals to pass information on to the next generation of persons in a family, and is found in human life-forms as well as all other animals and alive organisms.


2 parts of a virus?

Genetic material (DNA or RNA): Viruses contain either DNA or RNA as their genetic material, which carries instructions for their replication inside host cells. Protein coat (capsid): Viruses have a protein coat called a capsid that surrounds and protects their genetic material, helping them to infect host cells and replicate.


What did the hershey-chase blender experiment help prove?

The Hershey-Chase blender experiment helped prove that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material of a bacteriophage. By using radioactive labeling, they were able to track the transmission of genetic material from the virus to the infected bacteria, showing that it was the DNA and not the protein coat that carried the genetic information.

Is deoxyribonucleic acid produced by ribonucleic acid?

No, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is not produced by ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the genetic material that stores and carries the genetic information of an organism, while RNA is involved in various cellular processes including protein synthesis. DNA is typically transcribed into RNA, not the other way around.

What Material in nucleus that contains genetic information?

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) contains the genetic information inside cells. The genetic information itself is a code of letters out of 4 possible nitrogen bases (A,T,G,C) eg. ACGTATGCATGGT. A gene is a portion of this code that has information for the construction of one type of protein chain.
