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 • 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.
