Structural Characteristics of DNA
|
Made up of nucleotides
|
|
|
DNA is to what as Proteins are to what?
|
Nucleotides, Amino Acids
|
|
|
Nucleotides
|
Contains sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base
|
|
|
Deoxyribose
|
is sugar
|
|
|
Base could be
|
adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), or Thymine (T)
|
|
|
DNA is a
|
double stranded molecule
|
|
|
The strands are
|
anti-parallel
|
|
|
Complimentay base pairing
|
A-T; C-G
|
|
|
Ladder-like
|
rungs are bases; sugar and phosphate backbone make rails/ sides
|
|
|
DNA is
|
a double helix
|
|
|
Nucleotide is the smallest
Codon is next, 3 nucleotides that codes for an amino acid Gene is next, segment of DNA that codes for a protein Chromosome is next, 5 meters of DNA packaged in protein, we have 46 chromosomes in each cell Genome is next, the recipe book in the recipe analogy. |
