• DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a nucleic acid

  The DNA molecule is composed of two winding polynucleotide chains that form a double helix.

• DNA Testing to Settle Disputes

  Structure of DNA: The DNA molecule is comprised of two long polynucleotide chains which are made up of four different kinds of what are referred to as nucleotide subunits. Each chain is referred to as a DNA chain or strand.

• The enzyme, DNA polymerase III

  a. because DNA polymerases can only add nucleotides to the 3' end of a polynucleotide strand b. because the 3' end of the polynucleotide molecules is more electronegative than the 5' end. c.

• polynucleotide codons

  380381 polynucleotide codons Once it was determined that codons consisted of three-nucleotide sequences, the specificity of each codon could be determined. Using a codon table, determine what poly U codes for.

• The Difference Between DNA and RNA

  DNA is typically a double-stranded molecule with a long chain of nucleotides. RNA is generally a single-stranded molecule in most of its biological roles and has a much shorter chain of nucleotides compared to DNA.

• What role does the IT department play in the supply chain?

• Synthesized triglycerides structural formulas

  Of course, right? Therefore, when you form a triglyceride, it will be made up of three fatty acid chains hooked through three ester linkages to a glycerol backbone.

• Tacticity in Polymers

  The tacticity of a polymer is determined by what side of the polymer chain the pendant (substituent) groups are on.

• A new manufacturer is advertising a new cake mix as fat free.

  Fatty acids are long chain hydrocarbons with a carboxyl group at one end. If you look at the structure of a triglyceride you will see that it is made up of 3 fatty acid molecules joined by ester linkages to a glycerol backbone.
