Lesson 14 Flashcards
-The science of heredity
-The study of genes and information it carries
GENETIC/S
-The genetic information that a cell carry that includes chromosome and plasmid
GENOME
This contain the DNA that carry the hereditary information or the genes.
CHROMOSOME
These are segments of DNA that code for functional products.
GENE/S
A macromolecule
Compose of repeating unit called NUCLEOTIDES
DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID (DNA)
What are the composition of nucleotides?
•NITROGENOUS BASE - adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine
•DEOXYRIBOSE - pentose sugar
•PHOSPHATE GROUP
What is the formation/structure of DNA?
DOUBLE HELIX
What is the bond that held the two strands and located in between base pairs?
HYDROGEN BOND
Base pair of ADENINE
THYMINE
Base pair of GUANINE
CYTOSINE
Base pair of THYMINE
ADENINE
Base pair of CYTOSINE
GUANINE
These numbers indicate end-to-end chemical orientation.
5 prime end & 3 prime end
-This prime end is important during replication
-New nucleotide is added to this end
3’end
The genetic make up of an organism that codes for all its characteristics
GENOTYPE
