nucleotide and nucleic acids Flashcards
describe structure of DNA nucleotide
phosphate
deoxyribose sugar
nitrogenous base
describe the structure of RNA nucleotide
phosphate
ribose sugar
nitrogenous base
what bases do DNA have
A two bonds with hydrogen T
G three bonds with hydrogen C
what bases do RNA have
A with U
G with C
which are purines
which are pyramidies
A + G purines
C + T + U pyramids
differences with RNA to DNA
dna is double helix/double stranded
rna is single polynucleotide chains
RNA has no oxygen (ribose)
DNA has oxygen (deoxyribose)
nucleotides join to form?
phosphiadaster bonds joined together by hydrogen bonds formed in condensation reactions
3 types of rna
messenger rna
mrna - transfers genetic code information from DNA to ribosomes
transfer rna
trna-carry’s specific amino acids to the ribosomes
ribosomal RNA
rRNA - made of rna and proteins
