Module 17-18 Flashcards
is responsible for the transfer of genetic information from parents to offspring
DNA
is responsible for the synthesis of protein.
RNA
Nucleic Acid are made from thousands of repeating monomers called
Nucleotides
contains the genetic instructions for the correct sequence of amino acids in proteins.
- Remains in the nucleus
DNA
uses the information to assemble the correct
amino acids and help make the protein.
* Leaves the nucleus
RNA
What are the Purines?
adenine (A)
guanine (G)
What are the Pyrimidines?
Cytosine (C)
Thymine (T)
Uracil (U)
Bases of DNA?
Cytosine (C), thymine (T),
adenine (A), guanine (G)
Bases of RNA
Cytosine (C), uracil (U)
adenine (A), guanine (G),
The base pairs are called complementary base pairs. What are these?
- Adenine (A) - Thymine (T)
- guanine (G) - Cytosine (C).
Parts of Nucleotide
Phosphate
Sugar
Base
is prepared using molasses fermentation. This
is a biological process where it uses sucrose from molasses
ethanol
an acetic acid that contains no water or very low amount of water (less than 1%) is called
anhydrous(water-free)
is commonly known as vinegar.
Dilute acetic acid
