DNA
Biology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| DNA Structure | A double helix structure made up of two polymers which is made up of lots of nucleotide Nucleotide has a phosphate, sugar and base Complimentary bases: Adenine & Thymine, Cytosine & Guamine |
| Chromasomes | Made up of lots of DNA strands |
| Making proteins | Three bases (triplet) codes for an amino acid Line of amino acids makes a protein |
| DNA replication | As bases are complimentary, helix splits into two strands and identical copies are made using the bases |
| Mitosis | Makes 1 new cells. 46-92- 2 lots of 46 Diploid as have 2 chromosome sets Clones as asexual reproduction for growth and repair |
| Meiosis | Makes 4 new cells with 1 set of chromosomes, haploid Non-identical For gametes |
| Stem cells | Are unspecialised cells that split to make two cells, one specialised and one returns to the cycle Can be used (hopefully) for organs transplant Unethical as have to test on embryos |
