Answer:
Besides storing genetic information, nucleic acids helps in
Understanding diseases
Creation of proteins
Transmission of information
Explanation:
Understanding diseases
Knowledge about the nucleic acids and their mechanism of action helps in understanding the causes of a disease and the possible cure for the disease. A genetic disease is caused when there is a faulty gene, which is made up of nucleic acids, is present in the genome. These genes will make faulty RNA's which will result in the establishment of faulty proteins. Hence, by having understanding about nucleic acids, diseases can be studies and cured.
Creation of proteins
The information from the DNA is coded by the mRNA which is used to make proteins.
Transmission of information
Apart from storing information, the nucleic acids such as the DNA are also involved in the transmission of information.
A plant and animal cell is eukaryotic
a eukaryotic cell has a nucleus instead of floating DNA which a prokaryotic cell has
There are 46 atoms of hydrogen inside the cholesterol.
The formula of cholesterol is C27H46O, meaning that besides hydrogen it contains 27 atoms of carbon and one atom of oxygen.
Cholesterol can be found in large concentrations within the liver, spinal cord, and brain providing the stability of the cell membranes.
