How does the color compare between tubes 1 and 2? Why? Do DNA and RNA react alike? Why or why not? What are the functions of nucleic acids in living organisms?
Nucleic Acids: Dische diphenylamine test. DNA and RNA are nucleic acids made of nucleotide subunits. DNA can be identified chemically with the Dische diphenyl- amine test. Acidic conditions convert deoxyribose to a molecule that binds with diphenylamine to form a blue complex. The intensity of the blue color is proportional to the concentration of DNA. […]
