Only limited knowledge about the links between DNA mistakes and certain diseases and conditions is known at this point. The human genome consists of about 3 billion bits of information. The DNA strand is a double helix that consists of nucleotides that are Nitrogen containing nucleobases. There are four nucleobases, guanine (G), adenine (A), thymine (T), and cytosine (C). The nucleotides are joined together in a chain by a covalent bond between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next. Only about 2% of the human DNA strand actually has anything to do with encoding the proteins that give us our characteristics so its very difficult to isolate any one of the 3 billion combinations of G, A, T, and C that can make up a strand of DNA. That's a lot of possible combinations and is why every person is unique even though they are similar. The most likely answer is that it is not just a single element of DNA that could produce a prodigy but many combinations that could produce different types of prodigies. Also, the very definition of prodigy comes into play. I saw a 12 year old boy that could not even tie his own shoes and didn't know his own name but could listen once to a classical piano concerto that he had never heard before and walk over to a piano and play the entire peice perfectly to the end. He was autistic. Could he be considered a prodigy? The conclusion at this point in time is that no one really knows the answer to that question.

What unique element is only found in nucleic acid and not in any other biochemical?

The unique element found in nucleic acids and not in other biochemicals is phosphorus. Phosphorus is a key component of the phosphate groups that make up the backbone of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA.


Why only phosphate is present in DNA and not any other element?

Phosphate in not an element, it is not the only element found in DNA, and is found in other places.

What enzyne produces a new DNA strand during DNA replication?

DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for producing a new DNA strand during DNA replication. It catalyzes the addition of nucleotides to the growing DNA chain, using the existing DNA strand as a template.


Which process involving DNA creates a DNA pattern or fingerprint unique to an individual person?

The process involving DNA that creates a unique DNA pattern or fingerprint for an individual person is called DNA profiling or DNA fingerprinting. This technique analyzes specific regions of an individual's DNA to create a unique genetic profile that can be used for identification purposes.


What is symbol of DNA?

DNA is not an element. DNA is the brain of the cell, and carries our genetics, traits, and characteristics of ourselves. It is not an element, but a microscopic, double-helix twisted strand that is miles and miles and miles long if it is unwound to its full length. It is not, however, an element.
