True or false if a nucleic acid contains uracil it is DNA?

This is false a nucleic acid that contains uracil is not DNA. Uracil is a nucleobase that is found in RNA.


Is it DNA if nucleic acid contains uracil?

If you are inquiring about the decontamination of nucleic acid amplification reactions USING uracil (UDG), you should find this article interesting... http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/5536649/description.html Very compelling. * A nucleic acid that contains uracil must be RNA, not DNA.


A research student is analyzing the nucleic acid of a virus He finds that the nucleic acid contains thymine From this it can be concluded that the nucleic acid?

is likely DNA. Thymine is a nitrogenous base found in DNA, not RNA. RNA contains uracil instead of thymine.


Which nitrogenous base would not be found in the nucleic acid that provides the genetic code?

Uracil is the nitrogenous base that is not found in DNA (the nucleic acid that provides the genetic code). Uracil is found in RNA.


Is a nucleic acid base found in ribonucleic acid but not in deoxyribonucleic acid?

Yes; DNA = T; Rna = U. Yes, but only one = U.


What are the two kinds of nucleic acid's?

a There are two types of nucleic acids. Purines and Pyrimidines. Purine contains 1) Adenine 2) Guanine. Pyrimidines contains 1)Cytosine 2) Thymine 3)Uracil. Out of this Uracil replaces Thymine in RNA molecule. DNA contains 1) Adenine 2) Guanine 3)Cytosine 4)Thymine.


What is nucleic acid that stores and transmits genetic information?

While RNA can exist in a double stranded form, DNA functions as genetic information storage. In addition, DNA contains thymine (T), whereas RNA contains uracil (U), so the answer is DNA.


Is adenine a nucleic acid?

No, adenine is a component of nucleic acids, but isn't a nucleic acid itself.


What are the two nucleic acid present in genes?

the two nucleic acid present in gene are:thymine found in the DNA and uracil found in the RNA.

What contains ribose sugar and uracil?

RNA (ribonucleic acid) contains ribose sugar and uracil. Uracil is used in RNA instead of thymine, which is found in DNA.


If the sequence of bases in a nucleic acid were AUCGA is it a strand of DNA?

No, because "U," or Uracil, is found in RNA and not DNA.
