Which of the following statements about nucleic acids is not correct?
Select one:
A.
In DNA the distance between the strands of the double helix is relatively constant.
B.
The growing DNA polymer is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction.
C.
The enzymes that catalyze DNA synthesis are known as DNA polymerases.
D.
RNA strands are synthesized in the 3' to 5' direction.
E.
Unlike DNA, RNA is easily cleaved because the 2'-OH group of the ribose is a nucleophile that catalyzes hydrolysis of the strand.
Use the following information to answer the next question In the early part of the last century , biologists thought that proteins might be the camers of genetic information. It is now known that DNA is the genetic molecule in living organisms and that RNA cames genetic information in some viruses.
Proteins are not suitable to be the genetic molecules within cells because they
A.) are large organic compounds
B.) are composed of building blocks called amino acids
C.) do not replicate themselves
D.) catalyze biochemical reactions
In an attempt to understand whether viruses rely on proteins or nucleic acids to transmit
their genetic information into their host cells, scientists were able to track the movement of
phosphorus and nitrogen from the virus to its host cell.
Which of the following describes the most likely conclusion from this observation?
A
B
с
D
The molecule that is transmitted by the virus is a protein since proteins contain nitrogen
but nucleic acids do not.
The molecule that is transmitted by the virus is a protein since proteins contain phos-
phorus but nucleic acids do not.
The molecule that is transmitted by the virus is a nucleic acid since nucleic acids contain
phosphorus but proteins do not.
The molecule that is transmitted by the virus is a nucleic acid since nucleic acids contain
nitrogen but proteins do not.
