March 6 Sci Study
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| DNA | Located in Nucleus Consists of smaller repeating Nucleotides |
| Nucleotide | Composed of phosphate group ribose (sugar) nitrogen bases (ATCG) joined end to end forming a long chain backbone is alternating sugar and phosphates arrangement of the bases makes up the genetic code |
| Nitrogen base | A-all T-thugs C-carry -Guns A=T C=G |
| Watson-Crick model | Double helix DNA consists of 2 Complementary chains uprights are repeating sugar and phosphates groups rugs are complementary bases bases are held together by weak H-bonds (Unzips) sugar&phosphates are held by strong covalent bonds. |
| Eukaryotic chromosomes | Contain DNA and Protein tightly packed to form chromatin |
| Chromotin | Consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins called histones |
| Nucleosome | Together, the DNA and histone molecules form a bead-like structure |
| DNA replication | Unzipping free floating new complementary form |
| RNA | Carrie DNA to ribosome to make protein ribose uracil single strand |
| types | mRNA reads code rRNA makes ribosomes tRNA transfers aa to ribosome |
