Chapter 6 Flashcards
Define Genome
instruction manual for cells in organism, contains all genetic information
Define Nucleotide
Building blocks of DNA
Base- paring rule
Adenine always pairs with Thymine
Cytosine always pairs with Guanine
Structure of Nucleotide
Phosphate Group
Sugar
Nitrogen Base
Backbone of DNA and RNA?
sugar phosphate backbone
Example Of Nucleotide
ATP
ATP
the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level.
-intiations dna and rna polymerase
O-H Group (location)
3’end of chain
Phosphate Group (location)
5’ end of chain
RNA
single stranded
contains Uracil instead of thymine
goal:get the cell a particular protein
- THINK MESSENGER
Central Dogma of Molecular bio
Flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to RNA to Protein
Helices
RNA SHAPE
FOLDS AND BENDS
SECONDARY RNA STRUCTURE
DNA LIGASE
seals gaps in the lagging strand during DNA replication by forming bonds between fragments
