The strands of genetic material floating in the nucleus are chromatin. Chromatin is the combination of DNA that makes up the nucleus of the cell.

Is genetic material single stranded or double stranded rna?

If the genetic material is RNA, it will usually be single stranded. Only viruses contain double stranded RNA. The main genetic material in eukaryotic cells (eg. animal cells) is DNA. Single stranded RNA copies of this (known as mRNA) are made in order for proteins to be synthesized.


What biological molecule is used to store genetic information?

The strands of the helix align so that the nucleotides face "up" on one side of the helix and "down" on the other side of the helix. Nitrogen bases in the two strands of the helix form hydrogen bonds with each other across the width of the molecule. On the DNA molecule an adenine (A) on one strand, always bonds with thymine (T)on the opposite strand. Likewise guanine (G) always hydrogen bonds with cytosine(C)The term complimentary is always used to describe these pairings. For example, A is complementary to T and C is complementary to G. The overall appearance of the DNA molecule is very similar to a rope ladder that is twisted, with the hand rails of the ladder composed of sugar phosphate backbone and the rungs of the ladder composed of paired nitrogenous bases.Thank you for telling us what DNA looks like. Now try to answer the question.How does DNA store info?


How do hidden viruses multiply?

1. A virus attaches to a bacterium. 2. The virus injects its genetic material. 3. The genetic material of the virus combines with the bacterium's genetic material. 4. The virus's genetic material detaches from the bacterium's genetic material and the bacterium produces the virus's proteins and genetic material. 5. New viruses assemble. 6. The bacterium bursts open, releasing new viruses.


What does penguin DNA look like?

Penguin DNA consists of long strands of genetic information organized into chromosomes inside the cell nucleus. The genetic code in penguin DNA determines their physical characteristics, such as size, shape, and coloration. Penguins have 20 pairs of chromosomes, similar to most other bird species.


What is the outcome of conjugation?

Conjugation is a process in bacteria where genetic material is transferred from one cell to another through direct physical contact. This allows for the exchange of genetic material, such as antibiotic resistance genes, between bacterial cells. This transfer can result in increased genetic diversity and the acquisition of new traits by the recipient cell.
