Answer:

Its DNA

Explanation:

Each RNA nucleotide consists of three parts: a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen-containing base. The four RNA bases are adenine, uracil, guanine, and cytosine—often referred to as A, U, G, and C. RNA shares three bases in common with DNA: adenine, guanine, and cytosine. Instead of uracil, DNA contains thymine.

DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code.

How many times and during which phase of meiosis do the chromosome replicate?

Travka [436]

Interphase is divided into three phases, G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), and G 2 (second gap). During all three phases, the cell grows by producing proteins and cytoplasmic organelles. However, chromosomes are replicated only during the S phase. It is the preparatory phase for the cell before cell division.
