Which macromolecule provides the blueprint for living things, by storing and transmitting genetic information?

Biology

Alex17521 [72]3 years ago

The nucleic acids (specifically DNA and RNA) are the macromolecule that provides the blueprint for living things by storing and transmitting genetic information.


This is because the genetic information in our bodies is stored in our DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) undergoes the processes of transcription (where it is transformed into mRNA) and translation (where the mRNA is translated into a polypeptide or protein). These two processes allow the information encoded in our genes to be expressed throughout our bodies through the usage of another macromolecule, the proteins.


Hope this helps!

Why would a drug that damages capsids help treat a viral infection
zvonat [6]
The capsid is the protein shell that surrounds the core of a virus where its nucleic acid is located. The capsid is made up small sub units called capsomeres. A virus consists of a nucleic acid which may either be RNA or DNA and is found in varying quantities in the virus. It is this nucleic acid that is vital to the virus' survival that is housed in the capsid. A drug that targets the capsid and damages it will cause the nucleic acid to leak out of the virus and into the surrounding while other fluids foreign to the virus will get in rendering the virus totally impaired, and due to this the virus cannot survive but will speedily die.
