QuestionAnswer
DNA is a biomolecule known as a Macromolecule
DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid
In eukaryotes its found in the Nucleus
In prokaryotes its found in the Nucleoid
DNA can also be found in the Mitochondrial DNA and Chloroplast DNA
The 3 functions of DNA are Genetic blueprint of life, store and transfer genetic material, and directs protein synthesis
Nucleic Acids are named for their Sugars
Sugar for DNA is Deoxyribose
Sugar for RNA is Ribose
DNA monomers Nucleotide
DNA polymers Double Helix
3 components of a nucleotide are Pentose sugar, phosphate, and nitrogenous base
Nucleotides are held together by Strong Carbon bonds
Nitrogenous bases are held together by Weak Hydrogen bonds
The backbone of DNA consists of Alternating sugars and phosphates
The "rungs" of DNA consist of Nitrogenous base
The 4 nitrogenous bases are Adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine
Purines Adenine and guanine
Pyrimidines Cytosine and Thymine
Chargaff's rule (base pairing) A-T, C-G
The structure of DNA is a Its a double helix
Dna strands run Antiparallel from 5' to 3'
The process of DNA copying itself is called Replication
Replications occurs during Interphase of the cell cycle
Dna strands are Complementary
The original DNA strand serves as a Template
The 4 enzymes important for DNA replication are Helicase, Primase, Polymerase, and Ligase
