DNA/RNA Struc/Func
Lesson A: Section 2.1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Deoxyribose | A Pentose sugar that helps make up the nucleotides. |
| Ribose | The sugar that helps make up nucleotides in RNA |
| Nitrogenous Base | The base may have a double ring structure (called purines) or a single ring structure (called a pyrimidine). Base made up of Nitrogen. |
| Phosphate | Makes up part of the Nucleotide, forms the side of the double helix. |
| Deoxyribonucleic Acid ( DNA ) | stores an organism's genetic information in the nuclei. also replicates when cells divide, Finally,provides a code or template for the particular sequencing of amino acids that ultimately bond together to form a protein. |
| Ribonucleic Acid ( RNA ) | There are three types (messenger, Ribosomal, and Transfer) of and each is involved in protein synthesis |
| adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, uracil | Complimentary base pairs (Nitrogenous) (there are five) |
| Sugar-Phostphate Backbone | The phosphate groups and deoxyribose sugars form the sides (name for it) |
