Nucleosides/tides
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the central dogma? | Genetic info flows only in one direction from DNA>RNA> Protein. |
| Roles of nucleosides and nucleotides? | -makes up RNA/DNA -currency of ATP/GTP -signal transduction -biosynthesis |
| What is the structure of a nucleotide? | sugar base+ phosphate |
| Purines have how many sides and what are they types? | They have 2 sides and are adenine and guanine |
| Pyrimidines have how many sides and what are they types? | 1 side; cytosine, uracil, thymine |
| RNA Vs DNA | RNA Has 4 OH groups and DNA has 3. On the 2' carbon RNA has an OH instead of an H |
| What is the structure of a nucleoside ? | Sugar and a base |
| Where would you find a glycosidic linkage? | where the C+ N groups connect in a nucleoside |
| What gives nucleic acids their charge? | The phosphate group |
| In what direction does nucleic acids move? | 5' to 3' direction |
| What side of the DNA strand is where the new RNA Strand i? s replicated from | the 3' side |
| What direction does sugars and phosphate face in the double helix? | sugars and phosphate face outside |
| what kinds of non covalent interactions is in the stacking of base pairing and between the nitrogenous bases ? | Vander Waals for stacking. between the nitrogenous bases is Hydrogen bonding. |
| How is DNA replicated in terms of conservation? | Semi conservative meaning that one strand from each parent DNA strands is found in the daughter strands. |
| How does PCR work | DNA is denatured so that DNA can be accessed for primers to attach and replicate. |
| What is the function of CRISPR | To correct genes from specific regions. |
| How is genetic material passed from to create a protein. | mRNA enters ribosomes where tRNA attaches amino acids to then create proteins. |
