Presentation Transcript

  1. DNA: Deoxyribonucleic Acid Watson and Crick

  2. DNA is a nucleic acid. The monomer is a nucleotide. Nitrogen bases make nucleotides different (A,T,G,C) Nucleotide is made of a sugar, phosphate and a nitrogen base

  3. DNA is a double stranded helix

  4. Complimentary base pairing means: A=T (2) G=C (3) Hydrogen bonds Chargaff’s rules: #A = #T #G = #C i.e. 30.9% A 29.4% T 19.8% C 19.9% G If given A = 30%, can you calculate C? --

  5. Antiparallel Strands

  6. Protein Synthesis

  7. Genetic Code

  8. Transcription: DNARNA

  9. mRNA Processing

  10. Translation: RNAprotein
