What is the relationship between a nucleotide and a molecule of nucleic acid?
916476
Nucleic acids are acidic macromolecules found in the nucleus of a cell. They are DNA and RNA. The monomer of a nucleic acid is a nucleotide. It consists of a sugar (ribose for RNA or beoxyribose for DNA) a phosphate and a base. The four possible bases are (for DNA): Adenine, Guaniner, Cytosine, and Thymine. In RNA Thymine is replaced with Uracil, and the other 3 remain the same. Because there are four types of bases, there are four types of nucleotides.Since the phosphate and the sugar and constant, they are the backbone of a nucleotide. When nucleotides bond to form a long chain (a polynucleotide), the chain is a strand of DNA (which is double-stranded) or RNA (single-stranded). \nHope this helps ;-)

You'll have to be more specific as to which chemicals you want to know about.  The building blocks of Genes are Organic Structures / chemicals as are the individual nucleic acids and nitrogenous bases.     \n\nPlease see my sources for more information.

Deoxyribonucleic acid; a nucleic acid that consists of two long chains of nucleotides twisted together into a double helix and joined by hydrogen bonds between complementary bases adenine and thymine or cytosine and guanine; it carries the cell's genetic information and hereditary characteristics via its nucleotides and their sequence and is capable of self-replication and RNA synthesis.

a molecule of dna contains many nucleotides which contain a nitrogen containing base (adenice,guanine, cytosine or thymine), a deoxribose sugar, and a and a phosphate group

The DNA is linked by the 4 bases G,C,A,T \nG and C pair together and A and T pair together they are held together by hydrogen bonds. G and C have 3 hydrogen bonds A and T have 2.\nThese form the double helix which is the DNA structure.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions for the biological development of a cellular form of life or a virus. All known cellular life and some viruses have DNAs. DNA is a long polymer of nucleotides (a polynucleotide) that encodes the sequence of amino acid residues in proteins, using the genetic code.

Adenine binds to Thymidine with 2 hydrogen bonds.\nCytosine binds to Guanine with 3 hydrogen bonds.

A nucleotide has\n1. Pentose sugar\n2. Phosphate group\n3. Nitrogenouse base\n\nWhat it doesn't have???? All other stuffs.....

DNA is a double helix, has deoxyribose sugar, and the nitrogen base thymine.\n\nRNA is a single strand, has ribose sugar, and the nitrogen base uracil (instead of thymine).

uracil means that it is an rna molecule and it is connected to an adenine.  cytosine and guanine are connected.  u and a are connected by two hydrogen bonds and c and g are connected by  three.  on the outside of the molecule there are alternating sugar and phosphate groups.

nucleosides- the building blocks of neucleotides are smaller than nucleotides

DNA\nDeoxyribose - The sugar that makes up the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA\nNucleic - Because it was originally thought only to be found in the nucleus.  We now know that some viruses and Prokaryotes have DNA but do not have a nucleus\nAcid - Because the weak hydrogen bonds keeping the organic bases in place mean that it is acidic

There are both structural and functional differences between DNA and RNA. \nThe structure of the nucleotids that form each molecule is different (DNA has desoxyribose and RNA has 'normal' ribose); and while DNA is formed by the combination of the nucleotids Adenine, Timine, Citosine and Guanine, RNA has Adenine, Citosine, Guanine, but Uracil instead of Timine.\n\nThey also differ in their 3-D structure: DNA is a double strand forming a helix, and RNA is single stranded, with different shapes according to the types of RNA. \n\nThat's another difference: there are 3 distinct types of RNA (transfer RNA or RNAt, ribosomic RNA or RNAr, and messenger RNA or RNAm). These three types have different functions and are found in different parts of the cell; they're smaller molecules that can go outside the cell nucleus, whereas the large DNA molecule stays within the nucleus and has a single function: provide and perpetuate the genetic information of the individual.

The structure of DNA is a Double helix similar to the shape of a "Ladder" that has been twisted.The phosphate/sugar attachments are on the outside "Uprights" of the ladder,while the attached bases,between the two nucleotide strands,can be considered the "rungs" of the ladder.Two strands of sugar and phosphate backbone are twisted and connected to alternating bases.\n\nCheck all these links Hope these might help you..
