Chapter 4 Exam 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the structural features of DNA | Deoxyribose, Purine or Pyrimidine base, Phosphate group |
| What are the structural features of RNA | RIbose, Purine or Pyrimidine Base, Phosphate group |
| What are the differences between DNA and RNA | |
| Transcription of DNA | |
| Transcription of RNA | |
| What is the differnce between transcription and translation | |
| DNA and RNA are polymers of what biological molecule | nucleotides |
| What polymers to nucleotides form? | Nucleic acids |
| What bond binds nucleic acids? | phosphodiester |
| What nucleotides are purines in DNA and RNA | Adenine and Guanine |
| What nucelotides are pyrimidines in DNA and RNA | DNA : Thymine and Cytosine , RNA : Uracil and Cytosine |
| DNA and RNA contain _____ groups | sugar, DNA lack an OH on 2' |
| true or false, Phosphates can attach to the sugar of the nucletide? | true |
| What do nucleosides consist of ? | base + sugar |
| What do nucleotides consist of ? | base + sugar + phosphaTe |
| which way do you read a nucelotide sequence | 5' to 3' |
| DNA molecule : | contains two antiparallel strands, form a double helix, A and T, C and G, pair through H Bonding |
| Chargraffs | 1:1 ratio of pyrimidines to purines |
| what does the stability of DNA double helical depend on? | mostly on stacking interections |
| DNA Stacking interactions | - base pairs form the core of the double helix - phophate backbone forms the periphery - a form of van der waals between adjacent pairs |
| Denature | unfold |
| renature | refold, anneal |
| Can DNA renature? | yes |
| Central Dogma | Dna--Transcription--> RNA --Translation-->Protein |
| T or F, biological information (DNA) in translated into RNA? | False, it is transcribed |
| T or F, RNA is transcribed into proteins | False, it is translated |
| T or F, Nucleotide linkage is through 3' to 5' phosphodiester bonds? | True |
