2 types:
DNA (deoxyribonuceic acid) (polynucleotide)The sequence of the bases in DNA codes for the sequence of the amino acids in a protein. Proteins determines the characteristics of a organism. Contains the pentose sugar (deoxyribose) NO O2)
RNA (Ribonucleic acid) RNA are used in Protein Synthesis. Contains the pentose sugar (RIBOSE)
Nucleic Acids, are made from monomers called nucelotides. Nucleotides are made from 3 components.
Phosphate (the sun), Five carbon sugar (pentose) "(your house), Organic nitrogenous bases (contants n2)The five bases:
(A) Adenine, (T) Thymine, (C) Cytosine. (G) Guanine, (U) Uracil
DNA: A=T C---G (A&T) (purines) (T&C) Pryimide
Completementary base pairing: Adenines pairs with Thymine (DNA) Uracil pairs with adenine (RNA)both have 2 hydrogen bonds. Guanine pairs with Cytosine (ALL THE TIME!!) 3 hydrogen bonds.
