Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of this and DNA?
Proteins
How can you tell if a snake is both prokaryotic and eukaryotic?
DNA is a nucleic acid. It is not an organism or creature by itself. However, DNA is the carrier of genetic information contained within both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Therefore, DNA is found within cells.
What is made in transcription?
mRNA is made. Messenger (Ribose Nucleic-Acid). mRNA is a single strand of RNA made from the template strand of DNA. The mRNA is a exact copy of the coding or sense strand of DNA. The only difference between the produced RNA and DNA is the DNA has deoxyribose as its backbone sugar, and all Thymines have are replaced with Uracil.
How do birds and dogs both use DNA?
Same as you do : it's the coding for making proteins.
In what ways are a human and a bacterium related?
The coding of our DNA (the correlation of the base pairs to the amino acids) is identical. They're our ancestors.
What are coding segments?
"Coding segments" is the term given to genes, segments of the DNA strand that code for a protein. Much of an organism's genome is non-coding segments, portions that do not have a role in protein synthesis.
What is the name for a stretch of non coding DNA that interrupts the coding sequence of a gene?
introns
Segments of eukaryotic DNA that can move or be copied from one site to another in the genome are called?
transposable element
What are the regions of DNA called that code for protein?
The coding regions of many eukaryotic genes are interrupted by non-coding sequences known as INTRONS. They are stretches of DNA whose transcripts are absent from mature mRNA product.
What is the name for a stretch of non-coding DNA that interrupts the coding sequence of a gene?
It is an intron.The coding segments of DNA are exons. At transcription, a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed that "mirrors" the complete gene, introns included. The cell subsequently edits the mRNA, cutting out the unwanted sections.There are also introns in genes that code for RNA, such as transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).Most eukaryotic genes are interrupted by introns, but most prokaryotic genes have none. In the human genome, the gene for the protein dystrophin has 78 introns.
What percentage of eukaryotic DNA transcribes protein?
Only a small percentage of eukaryotic DNA, estimated to be around 1-2%, is directly involved in transcribing protein-coding genes. The rest of the DNA is involved in various regulatory functions, such as controlling gene expression and maintaining genome structure.
What are genes and DNA?
One Big DNA is the Chromosome Body. Contiguously within [the Eukaryotic] DNA we find, oh say, 30,000 gene coding sequences {each with It's Own Start and Stop Sequences}.
Where is DNA stored in a eukaryotic cells?
DNA of eukaryotic cell is present in nucleus.
What is micro satellite marker?
Microsatellites (sometimes referred to as a variable number of tandem repeats or VNTRs) are short segments of DNA that have a repeated sequence such as CACACACA, and they tend to occur in non-coding DNA
What name is given to the patterns of DNA?
In coding DNA, that of genes, three nucleotide 'codons' signal for one amino acid. Many amino acids are signaled for by more than one codon. Another answer might be that eukaryotic genes, like yours and mine, is composed of coding 'exons' and non-coding 'introns'. The rest of the DNA is not expressed but may contain signal sequences for recruiting transcription enzymes and chromatin (DNA-associated proteins).
What is the difference between coding DNA and junk DNA?
Junk DNA is non-coding DNA it does not code for protein.
Why is strawberry DNA easier to extract then human DNA?
Same nucleic acids, same coding sequences, though many of those sequences are quite variant, same coding for protein products and many coding regions showing the taxonomic linkage, though very far apart, of these two eukaryotic organisms.
