Structure of DNA RNA DNA Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid
Structure of DNA & RNA
DNA § Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid § Double Helix § Twisted Ladder
Sides of the Ladder § Deoxyribose Sugar § Phosphate
4 Nitrogen Bases § Pyrimidines § Cytosine § Thymine § Purines § Adenine § Guanine
DNA Structure § Cytosine and Guanine always pair up. § Adenine and Thymine always pair up.
DNA Structure
DNA The sequence of bases in DNA is the genetic code. Sections of DNA are coded (instructions) for the cell to build proteins.
RNA § Ribose Nucleic Acid § Single backbone of Ribose sugar and Phosphate
RNA Nitrogen Bases § Cytosine, Guanine & Adenine are the same. § Uracil replaces Thymine § Uracil always pairs with Adenine.
