DNA and RNA #1 Flashcards
A
adenine, purines
G
guanine, purines
T
thymine, pyrimuvine
C
citocene, pyriumvuine
purine
double ring (AG)
pyrimidine
single ring (TCU)
polymer
made up monomers (individual units)
amino acids
proteins and polypeptides
DNA
nitrogen bases, AGTC, carbon backbone, backbone: 5 carbon sugar phosphate on both sides, polymer of nucleotides (deoxyribose), double chain of nucleotides, twisted, make double helix
RNA
uracil takes place of T, backbone: 5 carbon sugar phosphate, polymers of nucleotids (ribose), single stranded
nucleotide
5 carbon sugar, deoxyribose or ribose, nitrogen base, phophase, bonds: covalent and hydrogen bonds
deoxyribose and ribose diffference
one oxygen
why hydrogen bonds
2 replicate
genom
DNA in singel cell (in nucleus), identical, chromosomes make up DNA
base pair/ complimentary base
T + A, A+T, G+C, C+G
