Group the following as nitrogenous bases and nucleosides:
Adenine, Cytidine, Thymine, Guanosine, Uracil and Cytosine.
Depending upon the chemical nature of the template (DNA or RNA) and the nature of nucleic acids synthesised from it (DNA or RNA), list the types of nucleic acid polymerases.
Depending upon the chemical nature of the template (DNA or RNA) and the nature of nucleic acids synthesised from it (DNA or RNA), there are four different types of nucleic acid polymerases.
(1) DNA-dependent DNA polymerases. These use DNA as a template for synthesizing a new strand of DNA.
(2) DNA-dependent RNA polymerases. These use a DNA template strand for synthesizing RNA.
(3) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. These use RNA template synthesize RNA.
(4) RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. These use RNA template to synthesize DNA.
Name the scientist who suggested that the genetic code should be made of a combination of three nucleotides.
In which phase of the cell cycle does replication occur in Eukaryotes? What would happen if cell-division is not followed after DNA replication?
A DNA segment has a total of 1000 nucleotides, out of which 240 of them are adenine containing nucleotides. How many pyrimidine bases this DNA segment possesses?
