If 14c-labeled uracil is added to the growth medium of cells, the macromolecules will be labeled Ribonucleic acid (RNA).
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule essential in various biological roles in coding, decoding, regulation and expression of genes. RNA (ribonucleic acid) is made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and uracil (U) connected by a ribose backbone. RNA is a single-stranded molecule and it is not stable under alkaline conditions. RNA directly codes for amino acids and as acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes to make proteins.
When there are 14c-lable uracil that are added to the growth medium of cells, the macromolecules that will be labled are RNA. Uracil is a nucleobase that make up the DNA or the RNA. In RNA, uracil binds with other nucleobase (adenine) through hydrogen bonds.
