-
Linear polymers consisting of repeating nucleotid units linked by phosphodiester bondsTypes of Nucleic acids: - DNA ( 2- deoxy- -D-deoxyribonucleic acid ) - RNA ( -D ribonucleic acid )
-
Structure components of nucleic acids :
- bases- sugar - phosphate ester
-
Bases and sugars
-
DifferenceRNAbases: adenine guanine thymine cytosinesugar: D ribosephosphate ester DNAbases: adenine guanine uracile cytosinesugar: 2 deoxy-D ribosephosphate ester
-
Structure of DNAThe structure of DNA consists of two polynucleotide strains wound around each other to form a right handed double helixThere are two types of base pair in DNA: A T ( adenine-thymine) G C ( guanine cytosine) The structure of DNA and the functions of gene described Watson and Crick (1953)
-
Structure of RNARNA exists as a single strand RNA can coil back on itself
Types of RNA:messenger mRNA carry the information for the primary structure of proteinsribosomal rRNA part of the protein synthesis apparatus transfer tRNA activates AA and recognize codons in mRNA
-
Functions of organismRNA - several types of RNA responsible for the synthesis of the enzymes, structural proteins, and other polypeptides
DNAstores information that conrolls all cellular processes (replication)- conducting transcription for genesis complementary molecul of RNA
