a. Deoxy Ribonucleic Acid
b. Ribonucleic Acid
c. None of the above
d. Deficit Ribo Nucleic Acid

ANSWER: Deoxy Ribonucleic Acid
 
New research in the UK has detected sound bubbles in DNA essential to life which will change basic understanding of biochemical reactions within a cell. Research carried out by academics of University of Glasgow published in Nature Communications describes the way double stranded DNA splits using delocalised soundwaves are a hallmark of quantum effects.
  • DNA contains the code to life and holds the blue print for each living thing
  • Dedicated enzymes responsible for making new proteins read the code by splitting the double strand to access information
  • One of the biggest outstanding questions of biology has been how these enzymes find the initial hole or bubble in the double strand to commence reading the code
  • It is held that DNA has regions where specific sequences of bases modify the stiffness of double helix favouring the formation of bubbles
