Nuke Them Acids

Who discovered Nuclein acids?

• Friedrich Miescher

• Friedrich Nietzsche

• Friedrich Wöhler

• Richard Altmann

are macromolecules that store and transmit genetic information from generation to generation in living organisms?

• Nucleotides

• Deoxyribonucleic acid

• Nucleic Acids

• Ribonucleic acid

The _______ of a nucleotide serves as the main backbone of nucleic acids

• Nucleotides

• Pentose Sugars

• Ribose

• Deoxyribose

When phosphorus has four oxygens attached to it, it is called. Then, when a phosphate group is added to the nucleoside, a nucleotide is formed. Each nucleotide has at least one negatively charged phosphate group. This is the reason why DNA and RNA are also negatively charged and are therefore polar.

• True

• False

When nucleotides combine, they form what is called a ______

• polynucleotide

• nucleotide

• nucleoside

• purines

Nucleotides are made up of?

• DNA, RNA and Phosphate Groups

• Pentose Sugars, Deoxyribose and Ribose

• Nitrogenous Bases, Purines and Pyrimidines

• Pentose Sugars, Nitrogenous Bases and Phosphate Groups

DNA nucleotides follow a strict complementary base pairing rule known as Chargaff's rule.

• True

• False

are responsible for genetic information storage and transmission along with being a guide for the production of proteins?

• Phosphate Groups

• Nucleic Acids

• Nucleotide

• Polynucleotide

Who renamed ” Nuclein” acids to ” Nucleic Acids”

• Richard Altmann

• Richard Wagner

• Richard Strauss

• Friedrich Miescher

For a multicellular organism, the RNA in all cells is the same terms of the nucleotide base sequence.

• True

• False
