Nucleotides
What direction do nucleotides go?
5’ to 3’
How are the nucleotides numbered?
Base: numbers
Sugar: number ‘ (prime)
What is attached to 1’?
The base
What is attatched to the 5’?
Deoxyphosphate
What is attatched to the 3’?
A hydroxyl group
What is significant about 2’?
2’ is either oxygenated or deoxygenated. If there is no oxygen, it is deoxyribose and is for DNA. If there is an oxygen, then it is ribose and is for RNA
Are purines or pyrimidines bigger?
purines are larger
A and G
purines
C, U, and T
pyrimidines
How any hydrogen bonds to AT and GC make?
AT = 2
CG = 3
Where does DNA replication begin?

After one round of replication in light nitrogen, Meselson and Stahl observed what forms of DNA?
Intermediate
After three rounds of replication in light nitrogen, Meselson and Stahl observed what forms of DNA?
Intermediate and light (more light than intermediate)
