3.6: Nucleic Acids Flashcards
Genes
programms primary structure of proteins
Nucleotides
the monomers of Nucleic acids,
DNA
are hereditary and consists of deoxyribose sugars. Nucleotides A-T G-C
RNA
ribose sugars and has many difference roles . Nucleotides A-U G-C
What is the structure of the Nucleotides
there is a phosphate group on the left of the sugar and the nitrogen base on the right
purines
adenine and guanine
pirimines
uracil, thymine, and cytoseine
Nitrogen bases
adenine(purine), thymin(pyrimidines), cytosine(pyrimidines),guanine(purine),and uracil(pyrimidines)
deoxyribose
sugar in DNA and does not have oxygen
ribose
sugar in RNA
5’ and 3’
use carbond numbering to find, bonds between the two . And they are going in opposite directions from complementary strand
