C
cytosine
A
adenine
T
thymine
G
guanine
U
uracil (só in rna)
dna
deoxyribonucleic acid (polymer)
rna
ribonucleic acid
rna/ dna structure
elements
phosphate group
pentose sugar
nitrogen base
covalent bonds
dna forms in a……reaction
condensation reaction called polymerisation and form pairs of <h bonds and release 1 molecule of water woth use of eneegy
bases are classified into
purines and pyrimidines
purines (type of nitrogenous base)
2 rings, a g
pyrimidines (type of nitrogenous base)
1 ring, t, u, c
dna made of
made ofn 5 carbon sugar deoxyribose sugar,
double strand with complementary base pairing
2 ANTIPARALLEL strands of h bonds
stores info for protines
full info storer
rna just genrral info
sugar, function
5 cardbon sugar ribose
single strand
less stable and lasts less long
regulates expression for info durign protine systhesis
all cells have the same dna except
for gametes and red blood cells,
cells that have the same dna can differ in pritine compositiuons to code for specicif features
