Lesson A-

DNA/RNA structure and function

QuestionAnswer
What is deoxyribose? Deoxyribose is a pentose sugar that is a constituent of a nucleic acid.
What is ribose? A ribose is a pentose sugar, important as a component of ribonucleic acid. Sugar of RNA.
What is a nitrogenous base? A nitrogenous base is includes one of the nitrogen containing purines(adenine or guanine) or pyrimidines(thymine, cytosine, or uracil) found in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA.
What is phosphate? A phosphate is what the uprights of DNA are composed of as well as sugar.
What is DNA's structures and functions? DNA stores genetic information, It replicates and transmits when a cell reproduces, and it codes. DNA is a double stranded helix. It's sugar is deoxyribose. It's bases are adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine.
What is RNA's structures and functions? RNA is an intermediary that conveys DNA's instructions regarding the amino acid sequence in a protein. RNA is single stranded, contains the sugar ribose, and it's bases are adenine, guanine, uracil, and cytosine.
What are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine? They are the four different types of bases in DNA. The base can have to rings (adenine or guanine) or one ring (thymine or cytosine).
What is a sugar-phosphate backbone? A sugar phosphate backbone is a nucleotide that forms a linear molecule called a strand, which has a backbone made of phosphate-sugar-phosphate-sugar, with the bases projecting to one side of the backbone.
