Some organisms use singlestranded rather than doublestranded DNA In these organisms which enzyme would probably not be needed for DNA replication?

Some viruses have single stranded DNA molecules. These viruses do not have the machinery to synthesise the DNA on their own. They insert their DNA in a living cell where the DNA synthesis takes place.


What is chickenpox RNA?

There is no chickenpox RNA; chickenpox is a DNA virus.


Will ethidium bromide stain double stranded DNA or single stranded DNA?

both, though DNA will preferentially form doublestranded DNA at room temperature. it can be quite hard to get single stranded DNA other than by heating your sample up to 95 degrees Celcius.


What kind of virus is chickenpox?

Chickenpox is caused by varicella zoster virus, which is a DNA virus and a member of the herpesvirus family.


Is uracil always paired with adenine in double-stranded DNA?

No, Uracil doesn't occur in double stranded DNA. Doublestranded DNA contains Guanine paired with Cytosine and Adenine paired with Thymine. In RNA, however, Adenine is always paired with Uracil instead of Thymine.

What is ATTGC?

ATTGC is a sequence of DNA or RNA bases, representing the nucleotides Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C). This sequence can be part of a gene or a non-coding region of the genome, and its function or importance would depend on its context within the genetic material.


Is chickenpox vaccine useful?
