Card 1DNA and RNA

What is the main genetic material in most organisms?

Answer

DNA acts as the genetic material in most organisms. It is a double helical polymer of deoxyribonucleotides and is more stable than RNA because it lacks the 2'-OH group and has thymine instead of uraci…

Card 2DNA और RNA

अधिकांश जीवों में मुख्य आनुवंशिक पदार्थ क्या है?

Answer

DNA अधिकांश जीवों में आनुवंशिक पदार्थ के रूप में कार्य करता है। यह डिऑक्सीराइबोन्यूक्लियोटाइड्स का द्वि-हेलिकल बहुलक है और RNA की तुलना में अधिक स्थिर है क्योंकि इसमें 2'-OH समूह नहीं होता और uracil क…

Card 3DNA and RNA

What are the main roles of RNA?

Answer

RNA acts as genetic material in some viruses, such as Tobacco Mosaic Virus and QB bacteriophage. In most organisms, it functions as messenger, adapter, structural, and catalytic molecule.

Card 4DNA और RNA

RNA की मुख्य भूमिकाएँ क्या हैं?

Answer

RNA कुछ विषाणुओं, जैसे Tobacco Mosaic Virus और QB bacteriophage, में आनुवंशिक पदार्थ के रूप में कार्य करता है। अधिकांश जीवों में यह संदेशवाहक, अनुकूलक, संरचनात्मक, और उत्प्रेरक अणु के रूप में काम करता…

Card 5History of DNA discovery

Who first identified DNA and what did he call it?

Answer

Friedrich Meischer first identified DNA as an acidic substance in the nucleus in 1869 and named it Nuclein.

Card 6DNA की खोज का इतिहास

DNA की पहली पहचान किसने की और उसने इसे क्या नाम दिया?

Answer

Friedrich Meischer ने 1869 में नाभिक में DNA की पहली बार एक अम्लीय पदार्थ के रूप में पहचान की और इसे Nuclein नाम दिया।…

Card 7DNA structure

What did Watson and Crick propose in 1953?

Answer

James Watson and Francis Crick proposed the Double Helix model of DNA in 1953 based on X-ray diffraction data produced by Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin.

Card 8DNA संरचना

Watson और Crick ने 1953 में क्या प्रस्तावित किया?

Answer

James Watson और Francis Crick ने Maurice Wilkins और Rosalind Franklin द्वारा उत्पन्न X-ray diffraction आँकड़ों के आधार पर 1953 में DNA का Double Helix मॉडल प्रस्तावित किया।…
