What else can I help you with?
What are the small segments of DNA that control protein formation called?
The small segments of DNA that control protein formation are called genes. Genes contain the instructions for making proteins and are located along the DNA molecule in the cell. They determine the characteristics and functions of an organism by directing the synthesis of specific proteins.
Is hair a nucleic acid?
No, hair is not a nucleic acid. Hair is primarily composed of a protein called keratin, which is different from nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. Nucleic acids are genetic materials found in cells that play a role in storing and transmitting genetic information.
Is RNA an enzyme?
No, RNA is in a class of macromolecules called nucleic acids. However, RNA is often associated with more than one type of protein in its activities in the cell.
What are the protein building structures contained in all cells called?
A ribosome is the organelle that builds proteins. Is that what you are looking for? If not, sorry! :(
What are the sections of DNA that does code for a protein and get to leave the nucleus?
The DNA is copied onto segments called RNA, this RNA is moved into the cytoplasm and is read by a ribosome which then creates a protein from the specific codons ( 3 letter segments ) on the strip of RNA.
What is the name for a series of 3 nucleic acid bases contained on mRNA?
The name of a series of 3 nucleic acids bases on the tRNA is called anticodon. The name for a series of 3 nucleic acid bases contained on mRNA is called codon.
What is DNA loosly bound to protein called?
The segments of DNA that are loosly bound to protein are called Chromatin.
What is the name for a series of three nucleic acid bases on the tRNA?
The name for a series of three nucleic acid bases on the tRNA is called an anticodon. It is complementary to the codon on the mRNA during protein synthesis, allowing tRNA to bring the correct amino acid to the ribosome.
What is a nucleic acid coated with a protein?
A viral nucleic acid coated with a protein is called a capsid. The capsid helps protect the nucleic acid and aids in the virus's ability to infect a host cell.
What is a biological particle composed of a nucleic acid core and a protein cover called?
If it consists only of these two components it is a virus.
What are the small segments of DNA that control protein formation called?
The small segments of DNA that control protein formation are called genes. Genes contain the instructions for making proteins and are located along the DNA molecule in the cell. They determine the characteristics and functions of an organism by directing the synthesis of specific proteins.
What is a piece of Nucleic acid covered with protein?
A virus is an example of a piece of nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA) that is covered with protein. The protein coat of a virus, called a capsid, helps protect the nucleic acid and allows the virus to infect host cells.
Is hair a nucleic acid?
No, hair is not a nucleic acid. Hair is primarily composed of a protein called keratin, which is different from nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. Nucleic acids are genetic materials found in cells that play a role in storing and transmitting genetic information.
What nucleic acid translates the genetic code that is contained within a cell RNA or DNA?
RNA translates the genetic code contained within a cell. DNA stores the genetic information but RNA is responsible for translating this information into proteins through a process called protein synthesis.
Paritcle of nucleic acid and protein that can reproduce only by infecting living cells?
These are called viruses.
Does a virus have a protein coat?
Yes. All viruses are composed of a nucleic acid surrounded by a protein capsid. When the capsid is not present, the the infectious nucleic acid is called viroid. When the nucleic acid is not present, the infectious protein coating is called prion.
What a biological particle composed of a nucleic acid core and a protein cover is called a?
Virus (singular-virion)
