DNA :


Deoxyribonucleic acid
Nucleotide Pentose monosaccharide , phosphate and base
nitrogenous
:




↳ form b'-5'
Phosphodiester bonds

Pyrimidine Sman
nitrogenous bases with one carbon ring Thymine and Cytosine
:




Purine large nitrogenous base Adenine and Guanine
with two carbon
rings
:
-



↳ Purines
always bond pyrimidines keep evenly spaced
with to

Double helix :
Two strands of DNA run antiparamel joined by hydrogen bonds

Complementary base pairing Cytosine :
makes 3
hydrogen bonds with guanine
Adenine makes 2
hydrogen bonds with
thymine
RNA : Ribonucleic acid ->
short section of transcribed DNA

↳ Uracil
replaces thymine
Semi Conservative Replication :
:
DNA helicase unzips the double helix

4 .
Two semi-conservative DNA molecules are produced
Leading Strand DNA strand unzipped from

the 3'end -> Antisense strand

Lagging Strand DNA strand
:

unzipped from the 'end ->
sense strand

Continuous replication Continual replication of :
the
leading strand by DNA polymerase
Discontinuous replication replication of the fragments
Staggered lagging strand - Okazaki

Degenerate Code :
Several base combinations code for the some amino acid

Transcription :
