The informational biopolymers DNA, RNA and protein all share some features, but differ in others. Which of the following are common features, shared by all three? -the order of monomer addition during synthesis is directed by a template biopolymer. -during synthesis monomers are incorporated in groups of 3. -all contain a phosphate group in the polymer backbone. -during synthesis individual polymer chains are extended at only one of the two ends. -monomer selection during chain growth is an indirect process involving an adaptor molecule. More than one answer is correct Please help I’m confused
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.
The flow of information takes place from DNA to proteins. This process is called central dogma and DNA regulates this process directly and via transcription. The order of amino acids in protein and nucleotides in DNA and RNA is decided by DNA.
