Presentation Transcript

  1. DNA & RNA

  2. Elements that make up each structure of DNA • These elements are Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphate, Hydrogen , Oxygen • Each sugar molecule is covalently linked to one of 4 possible bases (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine.)

  3. MONOMERS OF DNA & RNA • The monomers of DNA and RNA are nucleotides which are made up of a phosphate group . In DNA, the nitrogenous bases are Adenine , Cytosine, Guanine and Thyme in RNA

  4. Base pair rules • The rules pairing or nucleotide pairing are A with T the Purine Adenine(A)always pairs with Pyrimidine Thymine (T) with G The Pyrimidine Cytosine ( C) always pairs with the prime Guanine (G)

  5. DNA vs RNA DNA is a double helix RNA is a single strand Nitrogen Bases: Nitrogen Bases: Adenine , Thymine Adenine, Uracil Guanine, Cytosine Guanine, Cytosine

  6. Genes • A Gene is a length of DNA that codes for a specific protein. For example one gene will code for the protein insulin, which is important role in helping your body to control the amount of sugar in your blood.

  7. CHROMOSOMES • DNA molecules are tightly packed around proteins called hailstones to make structures called Chromosomes. • Human beings have 23 pairs of Chromosomes in every cell, which makes 46 Chromosomes in total. • The sex Chromosomes determine whether you are a boy (XY) or a girl (XX).

  8. DNA vs RNA(compare and contrast) DNA DNA is a double helix DNA makes proteins SAME They both work in the nucleus They both are Nucleic acid RNA RNA helps read the gene RNA is a single trend RNA primers most be removed
