Define nuecleotides in your own words

1 answer:

3 0

Nucleotides are monomers composed of sugar and phosphate groups and a nitrogenated base. Several nucleotides compose DNA and RNA.

<h3>What are nucleotids?</h3>

Nucleotides are monomers composed of a sugar molecule, joined with a phosphate group and a nitrogenated base.

Monomers are composed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms, which establish covalent bonds.

Several monomers comprise a polymer. In this way, several nucleotides joined by their extremes compose the nucleic acids.

Nitrogenated bases are molecules carrying nitrogen and exhibiting the chemical properties of a base. These are purines and pyrimidines.

DNA ⇒ Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, and Cytosine.

RNA ⇒ Adenine, Guanine, Uracyl, and Cytosine

Adenine pairs with thymine or uracil, while guanine pairs with cytosine.

Sugar group: Sugar is always a pentose.

DNA sugar group contains deoxyribose, with hydroxyl modifications.

RNA sugar group contains ribose with no hydroxyl modifications.

Nucleotides have a certain order or sequence in nucleic acids, which is significant since these sequences carry biological information necessary to carry out cellular functions.

During which phase of the cell is a cells DNA copied

MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

Hi there!

Cell cycle has 2 phases (i.e M-phase and Inter-phase). Interphase is considered to be the longest phase. Interphase also has G1-phase, S-phase and G2-phase. In cell cycle while moving from M-phase it has two option either to go in G1-phase or G0 phase. It it goes to G0-phase it doesn't go under cell division but if it goes to G1-phase it starts to prepare materials required to replicate or copy DNA. After preparing all the material it goes in S-phase and copies DNA. It doesn't go to G2-phase until it copies DNA perfectly. Then it goes to G2-phase. In this phase it prepares material for replication of other cell organelles.

Therefore, DNA is copied in S-phase.

Hope it helps!

Why dont chickens fly?

Lena [83]

Chickens are capable of flight, however their domestication doesn't require it of them. After hundreds of years of being cultivated by humans, chickens have evolved to be less competent at flying than other birds. Chickens are ground feeders, which means they eat grubs and small plants. Since they do not need to hunt down prey like a hawk, they also do not need the wing strength to fly like one. Chickens are able to fly enough to access trees when they need to escape from predators.
