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.


Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of this and DNA?

Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of histone proteins and DNA. The histone proteins help to package and organize the DNA into a compact structure, called chromatin, which allows for efficient storage and regulation of genetic material.


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.


What is the coding DNA and mrna strand for the template strand 3' a-g-g-t-t-c-a-t 5'?

The top strand, which is drawn 5' to 3' and which contains the promoter sequences in the conventionally written orientation (such as the TATA box) and which has the same sequence as the new RNA (except for U instead of T) is the plus strand or the sense strand or the non template strand or the coding strand. The bottom 3' to 5' strand is the minus, or template, or antisense strand. Your sequence therefore is the coding strand, but the RNA is transcribed off of the non-coding, template, or antisense strand.

What is the name for a stretch of non coding DNA that interrupts the coding sequence of a gene?

introns


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.


Is the highest percentage of non coding DNA is found in bacteria or prokaryotes?

The highest percentage of non-coding DNA is found in eukaryotes, not in bacteria or prokaryotes. In eukaryotic organisms, non-coding DNA makes up a larger portion of the genome compared to coding DNA. This non-coding DNA includes regions such as introns, repetitive sequences, and regulatory elements.


Segments of eukaryotic DNA that can move or be copied from one site to another in the genome are called?

transposable element


What is the portion of a eukaryotic gene that is translated?

The portion of a eukaryotic gene that is translated is the coding sequence, which consists of exons. Exons are the segments of DNA that contain the information to be transcribed into mRNA and translated into protein. Introns are non-coding sequences that are removed during RNA processing and do not contribute to the final protein 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 is non-coding DNA?

Non-coding DNA, also known as non-coding regions or junk DNA, refers to segments of DNA that do not code for proteins. While once thought to have no biological function, non-coding DNA is now known to play roles in gene regulation, chromosome structure, and evolutionary processes.


What label represents the coding part of DNA?

The coding part of DNA is represented by exons. Exons are the segments of DNA that contain the instructions for the synthesis of proteins. They are transcribed into mRNA and eventually translated into proteins.


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}.


What are non-coding segments of DNA?

Non-coding segments of DNA are regions of DNA that do not code for proteins. They can include regulatory elements that control gene expression, repetitive sequences, and introns that are removed during RNA processing. Non-coding DNA plays a role in gene regulation and genome stability.


What is stretch of DNA?

A stretch of DNA refers to a specific segment or sequence of nucleotides within a DNA molecule. This segment can vary in length and may contain genes, regulatory elements, or non-coding regions. Stretching from a few base pairs to thousands, these sequences play crucial roles in genetic coding, expression, and regulation. Understanding these stretches is essential for studying genetics and molecular biology.
