Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
- Compare the mechanisms of LINE and SINE transposition
Non LTR retrotransposons dont contain long terminal repeats but they contain genes for reverse transcriptase, RNA binding protein, nuclease, and ribonuclease H domain.
*Non-LTR retrotransposons consists of short repeats which have an inverted order of bases next to each other.
*Non-LTR retrotransposons also having direct repeats in LRT transposons.
*Non-LTR retrotransposons are two types 1.LINEs
2.SINEs.
