  • What is the primary function of nucleotides in RNA?
    The primary function of nucleotides in RNA is to carry genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.
  • What is the primary function of nucleotides in DNA?
    The primary function of nucleotides in DNA is to store and transmit genetic information.
  • What is the base pairing rule in RNA?

  • What is the base pairing rule in DNA?
    The base pairing rule in DNA is A-T (adenine-thymine) and C-G (cytosine-guanine).
  • What is the structure of a nucleotide?
    A nucleotide consists of a phosphate group attached to a sugar molecule, which is further attached to a nitrogenous base.
  • What is the sugar molecule in RNA nucleotides?
    The sugar molecule in RNA nucleotides is ribose.
  • What is the sugar molecule in DNA nucleotides?
    The sugar molecule in DNA nucleotides is deoxyribose.
  • What is semiconservative replication?
    Semiconservative replication is the mechanism of DNA replication in which each new DNA molecule consists of one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.
