What are the monomers of DNA called?
Solution
Monomers are the important building block of nucleic acid. These are made by the blocks of protein. DNA and RNA monomers join together to form repeating chain molecules. This process is called polymerization. Monomers are sugars, amino acids, fatty acids and nucleotides. DNA inherited by the children from parents. DNA is the molecule which contains the genetic code of an organism. DNA has three types. They are A-DNA, B-DNA and Z-DNA.
Complete answer:
The monomers of the DNA are called the nucleotides. Nucleotides have base, sugar and phosphate as a component. The base has three types: adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine. The combination of DNA and RNA resulting in a chain is called the polynucleotide. Adenine is one of the chemical bases in DNA. Adenine is the energy storage molecule called the adenosine triphosphate. It is used to power the chemical reaction in the cell. Cytosine is a nitrogenous base coming from pyrimidine which occurs in nucleic acid. It is located in one strand at chemical bond and another one in guanine. Guanine is a type of purine. It is composed of carbon and nitrogen atoms which are available in dead bodies of birds and bats. Thymine consists of vitamins . It is found in food such as cereals, grains.
Note:
The sequence of these four DNA bases encodes the genetic instruction of the cell. Nucleotide is the unit for single cell nucleic acid. The base pair is the unit of length for double stranded nucleic acid. Nucleotides synthesized by vitro and vivo. Vitro types of nucleotides are the protecting groups which are used to form a nucleotide in labs. Vivo types of nucleotides are recycled through salvage pathways. It is produced by carbohydrate and amino acid mechanisms.
